ANASAGASTI This surname proceed from Mundaka (Basque region of Bizkaia) and Segura (Basque Region of Gipuzkoa), but is not very clear its origin, because I cannot find a farm with this name. Is documented that in 1477 lived in Onate (read Ognate) a man named Pero Anasagasti. I am from Biskay and this surname is tippical from a Village in the Coast named Mundaka, There was a house (not farm) in Mundaka with this name, but I think that in this case the name only shows who was the owner. The meaning of the surname is difficult to know SAGASTI can be Place of apple Trees (Sagar:apple, sufix Di or Ti: group of trees) or Place of Willow trees (Sarats:Willow), I think it is more probable the first one. The meaning of ANA is not clear, can be pasture or grass. There is a surname SAGASTI, so can be that Anasagasti were a variation of this. The prefix ANA appears in other basque names, like Anakabe, Anabitarte etc...

There are two Coats of arms of Anasagasti, if you are interested I will copy the description

The leader of the Basque National Party in the Spanish Parliament is Mr. Inaki Anasagasti

ANGUSJHUCK at aol dot com 22-Apr-2006 19:09 #2923 ANO, ANA- (diacritic over N) appears to be a fossilised class prefix for rough pasture or heath plants. For example, ANABI, AHABI (ABI "bilberry", ANASKAR, ANAZIZKAR "heather", ANEGU "rye", ANOTE "argoma negra" (OTE "gorse", etc. Note that none of the words thus prefixed is of borrowed origin, suggesting that class prefixes in Vasconic languages are of extreme antiquity. In the case of ANASAGASTI, ANA- is prefixed to SAGAR "apple". ANASAGAR is not listed in any Basque dictionary known to me, so this word, if it ever existed, has long gone out of use. ZU- is a class prefix for trees, and M- is a more general class prefix for plants (including some trees). Interestingly, initial M- is very frequent among those plant words which Greek borrowed from Pelasgian.
