Hi, I'm writing from my girlfriend's email address. Her name is Olivia Yerovi. We live in Lima, Peru. Last week we had a conversation about last names and ancestors, and she said she's very sad because she doesn't know where her last name (Yerovi) comes from. There are no records about it. So I decided I would find out and surprise her with the news. I think Yerovi used to be Jerobic or Jerobi or Jerovi or something like that. So please, if you know something about this name, please send me an email. hat I know is: now the last name is Yerovi. There are only 5 such surnames here in Peru. Her great grandfather left her a Jewish Star as a gift when he died. However there are no records of jewish ancestors. There are a lot of Yerovis in Ecuador. Apparently her great grand dad emigrated to Ecuador and settled there, and once he travelled to Peru, met a girl and had a son. Her Grand Dad, then went back to Ecuador.
