I agree with your explanation. I can’t prove it but word of mouth from my family was that we were Jewish and fled the mother land and settled in Italy and later in Spain. My grandfather was from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. His name was Cayetano Cantu Cantu. I have visited Cantu, Italy and one of the founders was Gaetano Cantús so more than likely my grandfather’s name comes from the Italian language. Another thing that leads me to believe we came from a Jewish background was that my grandfather had a ranch called Senai which is Jewish. My paternal tree shows that one of my ancestors from Spain married a woman from Holland. Thanks for your post. It only confirms some of my finds.
