Gotzon is Basque in Origin.

Gotzon is a masculine Basque given name with deep regional roots. In Basque onomastics it is most often interpreted as carrying the sense of an angelic guardian or messenger - hence the gloss “guardian angel” - a meaning shaped by Christian devotional language and adapted to Basque phonology. Though it resembles German Götz, a nickname for Gott- names, Basque Gotzon developed independently and is understood locally as a distinct name.

Use is concentrated in the Basque Country and rose during the 20th-century revival of Basque personal names; bearers include the linguist and essayist Gotzon Garate and designer Gotzon Mantuliz. Related forms and functional equivalents include Aingeru (Basque “Angel”) and Spanish Ángel; a common feminine counterpart is Gotzone. Informal Basque diminutives such as Gotzontxo or Gotzi occur. The name’s protective, guiding overtones make it a modern yet tradition-aware choice.
