Why In Spain They Say Beans To Beans

Beans and beans are the same, but the origin of their name carries a series of changes, history and even confusion of use.

It should be clarified that the name of Jews has nothing to do with religious issues.

Example of the meaning of beans:

Historically, in the Iberian Peninsula, two similar products were known and consumed: beans and broad beans, in some regions, especially in Galicia, were called "fabas" beans, which gave rise to the name "fabada" in the stew.

This name was also applied to beans, which are the seeds of a plant native to America, which upon arrival in Spain received the name "faba" or "fabas".

But at the same time, the Arabic name for bean and beans was used, which was "yudiyas". This name spread and spread in beans, and due to the phenomenon of phonetic variation, the sound of the second "y" was lost, leaving yudía that finally became Jewish.

This leads us to understand that the Jewish name used in Spain is due to phonetic similarity and alliteration.
