Idurre is Basque in Origin.

A rare Basque feminine name, Idurre is rooted in the Basque lexicon. Its etymology is debated: many connect it to edur/elur “snow,” placing it alongside the better-known Edurne and giving it the sense of “snow; purity.” Others derive it from dialectal iduri/irudi “image, likeness; to seem,” suggesting meanings such as “aspect” or “fair visage.”

The name appears sparsely in records before the mid‑20th‑century Basque cultural revival, after which it gained modest use, chiefly in Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia. Contemporary bearers include journalist Idurre Eskisabel and politician Idurre Bideguren, which has helped normalize the form. Variants and related forms include Edurne, Edur, and Elur (all ‘snow’ names); Iduri/Irudi is a dialectal lexical relative sometimes cited in the etymology. Spanish cognates by meaning are Nieves and Blanca. Short forms like Idu occur informally, but Idurre is typically used in full.
