[Facts] name research
my grandfather who migrated from Lebanon at a young age was said to have adopted a easy to pronounce "Mexican" name... I am trying to do some research on our family but am having no luck because I do not know how to spell his original first name. I understood it to sound like: Chickering last name is Abirached. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This "Mexican" name that you speak of, is it an actual given name or more of a nickname? If it is the latter, then the original spelling might be Chiquirín, which means "cricket" in Spanish (mostly used in Central America).
