Iriarte


IRIARTE por toda Euskalerria, (en Bizkaia son Uriarte), casa torre muy antigua en el Valle de la Valdorba, tambien en Barasoain, Bera, Alsasua, Azkarate,Urriza, Alzain, Azpilikueta,Errazu,Turrillas,Auritze-Burgete, Otxagabia, Iriz ,e Inza.

Significado: IRI se traduce generalmente por ciudad, lo que es bastante exagerado, ya que IRI es grupo de casas, y ARTE es entre, asi que puede ser algo asi como "entre poblados". Algun autor dice que el IRI es helechos y Arte lugar de, pero el pobre no tiene demasiado prestigio...

Pruebas de hidalguia: Muchisimas, casi todas en Gipuzkoa

Escudos:hay bastantes...

He leido algo sobre un tal Hernando Basco, de Alsasua, al que Juan II de Navarra (Juan de Labrit) le cambio el apellido por Iriarte

More Yriarte:

YRIARTE (IRIARTE): This surname exist in the whole Basque Country, and have many different versions: Uriarte, Iriarte, Iriart, Yriart, Yriarte, Hiriart etc.....,

but the form you wrote your Yriarte is tipical from Laburdi (the western province of the basque-french country). There are families with this surname in Biarritz, Bidart, Hendaia, Urruna, Ziburu, (all in Laburdi), there are also in Gascoigne.

MEANING: IRI, means group of houses, today means Town or City, but in tha past was a group of houses, and ARTE: means between. Basque surnames are names of farms or houses so the meaning is: (The house) between the groups of houses, or the house between the villages.

Jaime Kerexeta says that the origin of the surname in Laburdi, is in a house located in a place named Larresoro (In french Larressore).

There are a lot of coat of arms of different families with this surname, but the only one that apears for Yriarte with Y is this (I will transcribe it in spanish): En plata, tres bocinas de sable, puestas dos y una.
