I am Portuguese.

Can anyone help me with the surname Cabaço with the accent under the second c.

Where did it originate?
Is it Jewish?
What is its meaning
Has this name been changed before?

My interest was awaken when I was approached by a Jewish person who said that the Cabaço name was of Jewish origin and the Cabasso surname are of same background.

Any commnets or suggestions would be appriciated

I'm British but my grandmother was a Cabasso and was born in Israel. It is my understanding that our name comes from Portugal.

Cabasso is a Jewish name but its origin is Tunesian so I can't see how it could be related to Cabaço. My knowledge of Portuguese is minimal so I can't really make out what they say at
http://desciclo.pedia.ws/wiki/Cabaço. Could this be a plausible source for the surname?

Most definitely not. Desciclopedia is a crack/humour website with lots of slang, sorta like Uncyclopedia or Enciclopedia Dramatica if you're familiar with those. It's not to be taken seriously, and it's not for people who mind swearing either.

According to the Oxford Names Companion this is "a nickname for a fat man or a heavy drinker", and is from the Portuguese for "gourd", though that word is slightly different in my dictionary.
