The last name Restrepo did not exist anywhere in the world until the spaniard Alonso Lopes Mendoza from the small village of Restrepo in Asturias (Spain) settled in what today is Medellin (Colombia) around 1646 and dropped his last names to avoid persecution and death from the Spanish Inquisition as he would have been seen as a Jew because of his last names. It was a very clever move for Mr. Alonso Lopes to adopt the name of a village in Spain as his last name as it would be impossible for authorities to trace his real roots. It was a common practice among persecuted jews to change their last names or to seek falsified certificates of lineage to avoid expulsion and death at the hands of the Spanish crown. Many prominent descendants of Alonso Lopes would rather deny, ignore or hide these historical facts as anti-semitism is still present in modern society.
