Caras Genealogy and Caras Family History Information

Potential origins of the Caras name:

1.Perhaps taken from the region of Romania called Caras-Severin, although Iasi, where our Caras family came from, is not in this area. 2. I have come across information on the Sephardi Jews of Salonika. The name Carasso appears in a list of family names of the community, and the author is Elie Carasso. Perhaps some left Greece and migrated to Iasi (about 700km)? See http://www.sephardicstudies.org/pdf/carasso-salonique-index.pdf
