The name of Shimon Peres, current President of Israel, is not derived from the Spanish name but from a Hebrew word, the translation of which is a simple version of "Upharsin", a Chaldean word meaning "to divide". However, in Spanish-speaking countries his name is often mistakenly identified with the Spanish one.
