Origin of the name, history and genealogy of the Ponte lineage — a Jewish family name and the traces it left behind.
Ponte is a topographic surname of Portuguese, Galician, Italian and Jewish origin, which may designate « one who lives near a bridge ». Another interpretation derives it from the Anglo-Norman word pont, itself from the Latin pons, « bridge ». Among its bearers is Moshe Ponte (born 1956), Israeli Olympic judoka.
