It is a Sephardic Jewish surname. I would be interested in other Sephardic Jews in the Azores (Sao Miguel, primarily) with the surnames Cohen (Fortunato, Simy and Rebecca (could be Rivka)) who emigrated to the States at the turn of the last century, as well as their friends and my other family members... Bensabats (moved back and forth between Morocco and the Azores), Bibas, and Faraches. They were primarily in the cigar industry, I believe, which is what allowed them to move around. Many went to S. America. I have had the hardest time tracking the Cohens in Sao Miguel, however.
