Can any of you satisfy my curiosity about the meaning or origin of the
Spanish personal name Bexaida? I'd figured it was biblical but I can't
find it on-line in that context.


A local flavour of Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, maybe?

That seems a stretch--but no more than Yaakov > James --or Shlomo >
Solomon! Anyway, I just ran a Google search on <bexaida salomon> and
<bexaida solomon> and got nothing relevant and almost nothing at all.

Yaakov -> Jacob is not a problem; how to get from there
to James, or any version thereof is.

How did the Greeks transliterate Shlomo? Was it Salomon,
the ending coming from the Greek declension?
