LOISATE or LOIZATE
There exist a baserri or farm with this name in Berriz
(village from Bizkaia), so the origin of the surname is very clear, there
has been a branche of this family in San Sebastian too, and in Uruguay with
thge name LOISATI, The meaning is difficult to know LOIZ: can be MUD, and
ATE: Gate, but also mountain pass, so I think the mening is "Mudy mountain
pass". Other possibility can be Mountain pass of the Oiz, The Oiz is a
mountain close to Berriz
