Putting the name of the place you come from is a way to trace your roots to where you descend from.

Elmatador, Coelho, is a former Jew. His ancestors were forced to change the religion or leave Portugal.

To track his ancestry, the names were chnage from Jewish name to name of things, trees and animals:

Coelho means rabbit.

Other Portuguese names of former Jews:

Parreira means grape tree
Pereira pear tree
Oliveira Olive tree
