Is Martell or Martel an old sephardic Jewish Name?
I have been reading in several sources that Martel or Martell is a old Sephardic name, from before the Catholic inquistion. Jews who fled Catholic persecution to France from Sephardic Spain. Is that true? Are Martel/Martell descendents of a Jewish origin?
