Articles > NamesBasque Feminine Namesby Aryanhwy merch Catmael (Sara L. Friedemann)© 1999 Sara L. Friedemann; all rights reservedlast updated 27Dec99IntroductionThe following is a list of Basque feminine given names and bynames found in various medieval sources. Not all of the names are of Basque linguistic origin--in fact, many of the names were popular throughout all Iberian cultures--but they were all used by Basque women. Each name is listed as a header, followed by the dates it was recorded. I have used MC to indicate names that were found in undated medieval cartularies. A number of the names were found more than one time in the sources. For names where this is the case, I have included in brackets the number of times it was found in place of dates. These names were found in the 10th-13th centuries. Given Names
BynamesTwo women in these sources were listed with bynames. In both cases, the byname is descriptive, and follows the given name.
