Could someone tell me what my last name (TOUBOUL) means ?
We are Sepharadic Jews and our family comes from Portugal (a long time ago)
Thank you for your answer.

According to Abraham Laredo ("Les noms des Juifs du Maroc", Madrid, CSIC,
1978), the name Touboul (Teboul, Boutbol, Botbol, Abitbol...) means "Drums
maker or vendor".
Members of this family can be found in Safed, Egypt, Fes, Meknes, Rabat and
Tangier.
A Semah Bent Touboul, married to Ben-Soussan, born in Oran, Algeria, living
in Ain-Temouchent, acquired the French nationality in 1889. The
naturalization file can be consulted at the French National Archives (CARAN).
You also might find some information through members of "Etsi" (Sephardi
Genealogical and Historical Society).
