My name is Ohad, which is - according to several website, means 'United'. It is an Hebrew name originating the Hebrew Bible/Old Testemante/Tanach, and it is the name of one of the offspring of Simon, which is the offspring of Jacob/Israel, which is the offspring of Isaac. I thing you got the idea anyway

My father's surename/last name - which is the one I am officialy and un-officialy holding is derived from one of the adminastrative regions of Morocco in the 17th century. My mother's original surename/last name is Toledano - which is derived from Toledo. Toledo is a city in Spain, from which the Jews were expelled from (as from every other corner of Spain) at the year of 1492. The name 'Toledano' means that my far ancestors were Jews who lived in Toledo, Spain and were expelled from it, and their surenames were changed to 'Toledo-no', hence, Toledano.
