Elizalde


ELIZALDE This surname is easy to translate. From the Diccionario Onomastico y Heraldico, Tome III (J. Kerexeta):

    Elizalde: In Gipuzkoa: in the barrio of Iturrioz (Oiarzun), Ugasua (Eskoriaza), Larraul (Asteasu), Idiazabal, Berrobi, Azpeitia, Andoain, Elduaien, Getaria.
    In Bizkaia: in Arratia, Axpe (Atxondo), and Elorrio
    In Nabarra: many

The meaning is to the side of the church (eliza=church and alde=to the side).

In Bizkaia, the form of the word for church is Eleixa or Elexa, and the Bizkaian caserios are Elexalde, Elejalde, and not Elizalde. So, this suggests Gipuzkoa. Looking for caserios, there are none in Bizkaia and 13 or 14 in Gipuzkoa. Detailed information from Nabarra and Laburdi was not available.
