[edit]First of all, ben boton is an Algerian name, not spanish! second of all, if you look at Algeria's history you would know that jews long existed before spanish jews were expelled from spain. Please refer to the algerian berber queen Kahina (7th century), who was a jew. I also recommend reading the following website [1] which discusses the presence of jews in algeria, which further clarifies that jews had settled in algeria before spain anyway!
The presence of Jews in Algeria spans from the pre-Roman period to the early 1960s, when Algeria became independent. Before the Roman Empire took over these remote coasts of northern Africa, descendants of Jews who had fled Palestine after the destruction of the first and second temples of Jerusalem had settled among the Berber tribes of central Maghreb, some of whom had converted to Judaism over several centuries. Jews spoke the Berber language, especially in the eastern part of Algeria, in Kabyle lands, and even prayed in Berber.
