"ITUARTE" is believed to be derived from a Basque place name or toponym, which itself may have been formed from the words "itu" (meaning "spring" or "source of water") and "arte" (meaning "among" or "between"). This suggests the name may have referred to someone who lived near a spring or between water sources.
