What does a name that sounds Spanish in an Indian sword ? in the minimum, bizarre .
Alright, it could be, or is indeed, a trade (Firangi) blade.
Dime, besides being the $ ten cent, would mean 'tell me' in Castillian. El Aterro would mean the 'landfill' (embankment). But we know that persons names are not necessarily translatable.
I wish you luck with this one .
