The last name Perez is said to come from the name "Pedro" in Spanish meaning "the rock" of the church. The name is said to have come from the apostle Simon.
There have been many names that derive from the Jewish name of the rock called Peres. The last name spread to many native or mixed peoples after the Spanish taught the Indians Spanish. Therefore, you will find today Perez to be the last name of many people of many races that are labeled plainly as "Latino" in the U S.
Some people named Perez with an accent over the first e gives reference to the Spanish Christianising of the Americas to the the native peoples by white settlers. Perez without an accent refers to Jewish ancestry and conversion to Christianity by assimilating to Spanish culture during persecution in Spain, changing Peres to Perez. Other Europeans with Perez deriving names include Italians and French with last name of Peretz who also settled in the Caribbean and other Latin American countries.
