Azcárraga

Azcárraga is a surname of Basque origin. Nowadays, it is held by families not only in Spain, but also in Mexico, and other countries as well.

Etymology

"Azcárraga" (spelled "Azkarraga" in modern Basque orthography) derives from the Basque word "azkar" meaning "maple", and the suffix "-aga" meaning "place, abundance" [http://www.kaixo.com/cgi-local/bilabiz?bila1=azkarraga&submit=Buscar%2FBilatu] ; derivations with this suffix are common in Basque surnames. Another surname with a similar origin and meaning is "Azcarreta" [http://www.kaixo.com/cgi-local/bilabiz?bila1=azkarreta&submit=Buscar%2FBilatu] , from the same root but with the ending "-eta", another common Basque suffix meaning "abundance, plurality".
