The current Duchess of Medina-Sidonia, a descendant herself of the Guzmán family, defends that Alonso Pérez de Guzmán (the founder of the Guzmán House) was born in Northern Africa and that the name is a castellianisation of the Arabic name Quzman, of which there are records of its existance in Al Andalus (eg. the Cordoban poet Ibn Quzman).

Also, he married with a rich woman, María Alfonso Coronel, who was thought to be of Jewish ancestry.
