Gotzone is Basque in Origin.

Gotzone is a feminine given name from the Basque Country. It emerged in the late 19th to early 20th century during the Basque onomastic revival associated with Sabino Arana and fellow language reformers, who coined Basque alternatives to popular Spanish saint names. Gotzone functions as the Basque counterpart to Ángela or Ángeles and conveys the meaning “angel,” aligning semantically with the Spanish and Latin tradition of angelic names.

Use of Gotzone spread modestly across Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa from the mid-20th century, peaking during the cultural resurgence of the 1970s–1990s, and remains uncommon outside northern Spain. The masculine form is Gotzon; related conceptual cognates include Aingeru (Basque for “angel,” typically masculine). Spanish variants and equivalents are Ángela and Ángeles; international parallels include Angela, Angèle, and Angelica. In Catholic calendars, a customary name day is October 2, the Feast of the Guardian Angels.
