Itsaso is Basque in Origin.
Rooted in Basque, Itsaso is the standard lexeme for "sea, ocean," evoking the rugged Bay of Biscay and Basque maritime life. The name derives directly from the noun itsaso; a related form with the Basque definite article, Itsasoa ("the sea"), also appears as a given name. Meaning centers on vastness, depth, and freedom associated with the sea.
As a personal name, Itsaso gained currency in the late 20th century alongside the revival and normalization of indigenous Basque names in Spain. It is used chiefly in the Basque Country and Navarre, with sporadic adoption in the Basque diaspora in Latin America and France. The variant spelling Itxaso occurs in Spanish civil records and is widely recognized within the community. Predominantly feminine today, though occasionally treated as unisex, Itsaso has no fixed saint's day; families sometimes pair it in double names or shorten it informally to Itsa.
