The surname Inchaurregui is of Basque origin, originating from the region now known as the Basque Country, straddling northern Spain and southwestern France. The name likely dates back to the medieval period, around the 11th or 12th century.

Inchaurregui is thought to derive from the Basque words "inchaurra," meaning walnut tree, and "egi," meaning place or location. Thus, the name Inchaurregui may have originally referred to someone who lived near or was associated with a walnut grove or plantation.

There are no definitive historical records or manuscripts that directly reference the surname Inchaurregui, as meticulous record-keeping of surnames was not widely practiced in the Basque regions during the early Middle Ages. However, variations of the name, such as Inchaurre or Inchaurrea, can be found in some older regional documents from the 15th and 16th centuries.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the surname Inchaurregui was Juan de Inchaurregui, a prominent merchant and landowner who lived in the town of Oñati, Gipuzkoa, in the late 16th century. Another notable bearer of the name was Martín de Inchaurregui, a Basque military officer who served in the Spanish Army during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648).

In the 18th century, Ignacio de Inchaurregui (1692-1770) was a renowned architect and engineer from Vitoria-Gasteiz, responsible for the design and construction of several notable buildings and infrastructure projects in the region.

During the 19th century, Juan Inchaurregui (1815-1891) was a prominent Basque writer and journalist, known for his contributions to the preservation and promotion of the Basque language and culture.

More recently, Jesús Inchaurregui Mendivil (1905-1988) was a Spanish politician and lawyer who served as a member of the Congress of Deputies, representing the Basque region.
