Everything about B Jar totally explained
Béjar is a town and
municipality in the province of
Salamanca, western
Spain, part of the autonomous community of
Castile-Leon.
Bejar, Bejarano, Behar, Bexar and other versions of the name are popular surnames for
Sephardi Jews, many of whom were converted to
Catholicism or killed in the
Spanish Inquisition, who came from this region in Central Spain. Several locations in the United States, such as
Bexar County, Texas, have received the name from early Spanish settlers.
In 1718,
Martin de Alarcon, Spanish Viceroy and appointed Governor of Texas, reinforces a fort and the ten soldiers and their families are recognized officially as the beginning of the villa. Alarcon names the presidio
San Antonio de Bejar in honor of the Duque de Bejar, the viceroy's brother, who died what Spain considers a hero's death defending Budapest from the
Ottoman Empire in 1686. This fort and villa bearing the name Bejar later becomes the city of
San Antonio, Texas, the 7th largest city in the United States.
