Hello,
I was wondering if somebody could possibly answer a question I have about the Leyba surname? I want to know if the name Leyba is a Jewish name, or Spanish name. I have spoken with a relative about this, and she claims that the name Leyba was originally Leyva, but was changed? Why would it be changed? On the otherhand, i have read that the name Leyba is a semi-jewish name. Sephardic. I am totally confused. I would like to do some research on this, but don't know where to start. Does anybody know how I could research this info? I am totally blind to this..thanks. :)
Sincerely,
Dana
