Best Answer

No. He was born in Poland (a part of Poland that is now in Belarus).

The Hispanic name Perez and Peres are of different linguistic origins. They just look similar in English. Perez is Hispanic. Peres was a transformation of the Polish name Perski. In the days of the Halutzim (1920s-1930s) many Zionist Jewish immigrants to Mandatory Palestine changed their last names slightly to make them more "Israeli". Green became Ben-Gurion and Perski became Peres.
