As
far as I know...
As
far as I know the origin of many jewish family names
based
on the name of a place.
Legally,
in the hebrew language, the family name
NAHON
possibly comes from an ancient
hebrew
lettering of NAON,
the
name of a village in the province of EVIDO ,
north-
west Spain.
Nahon
is documented as a family name of a
jewish
family that lived
in
the 15th century with Yaaqov Nahon
from
Avila, Spain.
Famous people that carry the NAHON family name include:
In the 16th century Benjamin Nahon,
a
moroccan rabbi.
At the 19th century, a moroccan trader,
named
Isaac Nahon
and in the 20th century a israeli-morroccan sociologist,
Yaaqov
Nahon
