Edurne is Basque in Origin.

Edurne is a feminine given name of Basque origin meaning “snow.” It stems from the Basque noun elur (also recorded historically as edur) with a common feminine ending -ne, yielding the sense “the snowy one.” Through the Marian title Our Lady of the Snows, it serves as the Basque counterpart to Spanish Nieves; accordingly, many bearers observe 5 August - the related feast day - as Edurne’s name day.

Usage is centered in the Basque Country and across Spain, with broader visibility from the late 20th century onward and through public figures such as the singer Edurne. Basque variants and short forms include Edur (often unisex) and Elur; related Iberian equivalents are Nieves (Spanish), Neus (Catalan), and Neves (Galician/Portuguese). The imagery of winter, purity, and serenity supports its contemporary appeal while preserving a distinctly Basque identity.
