Notas:

The first person to assume the surname of Abendana was the Marrano Francisco Nuñez Pereyra, who fled from Spain through dread of the Inquisition at the beginning of the sixteenth century and settled in Amsterdam, where he married his cousin Justa Pereyra.
The children born of this marriage died, and, their death being attributed by his wife to the fact that he had not been received into the Covenant of Abraham, they separated until that rite was performed. He took the name David Abendana, and was one of the founders of the first synagogue in Amsterdam.
He died Feb. 14, 1625. He left two sons, Manuel and Abraham.
Manuel was ḥakam of the Amsterdam congregation and died June 15, 1667, having contributed much to the spiritual edification of his brethren. Besides those mentioned below, the names of other members of the Abendana family will be found in the lists at the end of D. H. de Castro, "De Synagogue de Portugeesch-Israelietisch Gemeente te Amsterdam, 1875." There is a modern Spanish name "Abendann" ("Jew. Quart. Rev." x. 520).

[Abendana, David]
ABENDANA (David) or David Abendana Pereyra alias Francisco Nunes Pereyra or Nunes Pereyra Homem, d. in Amsterdam February 14 1625, is one of the first Portuguese Jews to arrive from Amsterdam; his family (actually the Rodrigues Pereira family, of which Homem is a branch) arrived there in 1597 as Marranos. He married his cousin Justa Pereyra, daughter of Dona Mayor Rodriguez and Gaspar Lopes Homem in Utrecht (1605). Justa had already lost two children to death, which she attributed to the fact that they had not openly returned to Judaism. After the arrival of the first rabbi of Amsterdam, Urie Halevie (1602), her husband had herself circumcised by him and they both adopted the ancient Spanish-Hebrew Jewish surname Abendana, which meant that they no longer carried the Pereira coat of arms with the cross. but the Abendana weapon: 2 crossed swords with the count's crown (apparently of the Pereiras). He took the Biblical name David and she that of Abigael. Next to the 'noble reverend David Abendana', his wife was buried in the Portuguese-Jewish cemetery in Ouderkerk a/d. Amstel, whose epitaphs Henriquez de Castro published. Their sons were Immanuel and Abraham. For the first see next.
