Gorrindo


GORRINDO In the books about Basque surnames that I have, there are few about the Surname Gorrindo,

Coat of Arms: En gules, sembrado de veneras de plata Jaime Kerexeta in his Diccionario Onomastico y Heraldico only speaks about a family Gorrindo in Argentina.

Meaning: Gorrindo probably comes from GORRI-ONDO, or from GORO-ONDO, Ondo means "Close to" and Gorri means red, but also can be "place without vegetation" or "dry place",

The only documented Gorrindo family, that I have found is located in Isaba in 1909, I suposse is your family, I think, that yours is the only Gorrindo Family that exists, because in the Telephone books of the basque Country there is not Gorrindo s (I have read this in the book of Philippe Oyhamburu)


Oriol Garcia Marlès writes:

Una bisabuela mía se llamaba Serafina Fernández GORRINDO y vivió en Cascante (Navarra), cerca de Tudela. Sólo quería comentarte que quizá el apellido venga de Navarra. En las páginas amarillas he encontrado 17 personas con Gorrindo como primer apellido en Navarra (sobretodo en Cascante).

De todas formas está claro que las propuestas que sugieres que Gorrindo provenga de GORRI-ONDO o GORO-ONDO son más que acertadas, dado que los actuales territorios de Euskal Herria y Navarra han tenido desde siempre una intensísima relación en muchos sentidos.
