What is the meaning of the name Agurtzane ?

The baby name Agurtzane is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /aɡurtsane/ (ah-GOORTS-ah-neh).

Agurtzane is Basque in Origin.

Agurtzane is a feminine given name from the Basque language, formed from agur "greeting; farewell" and the Basque derivational elements -tza (abstract/collective) and -ne (a common feminine name ending). The composite conveys the sense of "salutation," "regards," or "one associated with greetings," reflecting a warm, courteous wish for well-being.

Recorded in onomastic lists compiled during the 20th-century Basque cultural revival and standardized by Euskaltzaindia, the name saw modest regional use from the 1960s onward, largely in Biscay and Gipuzkoa, with limited visibility beyond the Basque Country. Short forms and affectionate nicknames include Agur, Gur, and Tzane; a hyphenated styling (Agur-tzane) is occasionally seen. It is distinct from Gurutze (Basque for Cruz). Related Basque feminine formations built with the same -ne pattern include Aintzane and Edurne, though these are not strict equivalents. Agurtzane has no widely used masculine counterpart.
