From Spanish converso. Doublet of converse.

Noun

[edit]

converso (plural conversos)

  1. (history) A Jew or Muslim in Spain or Portugal who converted to Roman Catholicism under duress, particularly during the 14th and 15th centuries.
    • 2007 January 20, Sam Roberts, “New Favor for a Name That Straddles Cultures”, in New York Times[1]:
      Guillermina Jasso, a sociology professor at New York University, said Angel was “evocative of the old converso practice of taking on very Christian surnames as a way of survival in a suspicious environment.”
    • 2009, Diarmaid MacCulloch, A History of Christianity, Penguin, published 2010, pages 672–3:
      In the Inquisition's terms, both were automatically suspect by the fact that their families were conversos, and they might be seen as emerging from that maelstrom of religious energy released by the religious realignment of Spain in the 1490s.
