Juan Cabrillo is thought by most historians to be PORTUGUESE. His actual
name may have been Joao Cabrillo. He is thought to have been born in
Portugal but lived most of his life in Spain. He explored under the aegis of
the Spanish flag.
IF indeed he was Portuguese, his last name would have been pronounced Kah
Bill-Oh [Kah as in Kaboom; Brillo like the soap pad] not Kah Bree Yo which
would be the Spanish pronounciation.
I'm NOT interested in discussing an arguments that he was Spanish. That is a
remote possibility but then this discussion was a waste of time [I would not
disagree with anyone who says that!]
