Actually I can date it much farther back than that. My last name, Attias, is very unique, and i've personally traced it within my own family to over 200 years.
Here's a few refs that show our passage from ME, to greece/italy spain eventually to morocco - during ww2 - my father and his family moved to mexico.
"Piazza Attias - Named after the prominent Jewish family, this piazza is located on the area where the Attias mansion spanned. The Attias tomb is located in Livorno?s third Jewish cemetery. Located near the piazza is a gray building with green shutters, which contains a plaque commemorating Amedeo Modigliani, a famous 19th century Jewish, Livornese painter."
