BURGALETA I have not found many information about this surname, only taht is tipical of Navarra, and that there is a branche in Bergara (Gipuzkoa) Coat of arms: En azur cinco bandas de oro. Bordura de azur con ocho eslabones de sable, perfilados en oro

Meaning: its difficult to know, but I think it is a basque surname with a lathin element BURGO: town, and the basque sufix ETA: that can have the sense of plurality, but also in toponims means place.
