AGUERRE (AGERRE) Jaime Kerexeta says in his Diccionario Onomastico y Heraldoco Vasco, that the origin of this surname is Donamaria in Nabarra, with branches in Nabarra (Gaztelu, Irun, Zia, Olkoz, Beasoain, Bera), in Gipuzkoa (Legazpia) in BEBABARRA: Ostabat (the main), Mixa, and Eleta. Laburdi and Bizkaia. I am not sure in the Kerexeta's version of the branches, because this is a tipical name of many basque houses, so is possible that there is not conection between ones and others

Is probably the same name than Agirre, but in a west version

Meaning: the name come from the word AGER or AGIR, and means manifest, clear, evident..... the sense is: House very visible, without trees, and probably in a high.

Places in Benabarra with families surnamed Aguerre: Somberraute, Amendeuix-Oneix, Behasque (1544),Bustince, St. Palais, St. Esteben, Helette 1539, Iholdy, Ostabat-Asme (1604), Juxue, Larceveau, Luxe, Uhart-Cize

There are also families in Laburdi and in other basque provinces.

I have found Coat of Arms from the Aguerre of AZME (Asme), Ostabat, and Mixe, if you want I will describe them for you

En DonamarM-ma, Navarra, y de aquM-m en Gaztelu (DonamarM-ma), IrM-zn, Zia (Gulina), Olkoz, Beasoain (Ollo), y Bera de Bidasoa (en Navarra), en Legazpia (Guipuzcoa), en Yoldi, y Ostabat. TambiM-in en Azme, Laburdi y Vizcaya.

santamaria3 at wanadoo dot fr 18-Jan-2008 6:16 #6775 Santa Maria Helette is indeed a uniquely tall house for the Basque country , I have been restoring Santa Maria in Helette for the past 10 years,it is a 12th century "Maison Fort" probably built to watch over the border between Navarre (Nafaroa) and Labord (Lapurdi) at that time Labord was in Aquitaine and under English rule;Prior to Napoleon Basques took the name of their house not their father,so I have not found any Aguirres in it's history .However the other main "Maison Noble"in helette is Aguerria (not a particularly tall house!).
