I look for information of Portuguese emigrants going to Holland near 1580 - 1640

Hello to all,
I hope it is okay that I write in English as I do not master the Portuguese language in writing. (but I can read it)
In my family tree in the Netherlands (Holland) I found someone called Sijmon PORTUGIJS. It is estimated that this person was born before 1643.
The name PORTUGIJS refers in Dutch to "someone from Portugal". I have not found records of him or maybe an ancestor arriving in the Netherlands.
Maybe some records exist in Portugal like shipping lists, emigration lists or other that can be help? Perhaps this person was a Jew or converted Jew that fled the persecution of the inquisition?
Thank you for any tips or advice.
You may answer in Portuguese if you prefer.
Kind Regards and obrigado!
