What is the meaning of the name Irune ?

The baby name Irune is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /iˈɾune/ (ee-ROO-neh).

Irune is Basque in Origin.

Irune is a Basque feminine given name denoting the Holy Trinity. In Basque onomastics it is widely interpreted as the vernacular counterpart to Spanish Trinidad, and it is often linked etymologically to hiru, “three,” with a devotional sense rather than a literal numeric meaning. The name’s religious resonance made it suitable for girls born around Trinity Sunday, and many families treat that movable feast as the name day.

Use of Irune is centered in the Basque Country (Euskadi and Navarre), where it gained visibility in the later 20th century amid the revival of indigenous Basque names. An attested Basque variant is Iruñe; do not confuse related toponyms such as Iruña (the Basque name for Pamplona). Cognates and functional equivalents include Trinidad (Spanish), Trinity (English), Trinité (French), and Trinità (Italian). The name remains modern and succinct while carrying a clear cultural and theological heritage.
