Izarra is Basque in Origin.
Izarra is a Basque feminine given name meaning “star,” built from izar “star” plus the Basque definite suffix -a (“the”), so literally “the star.” In Basque it is pronounced ee-ZAR-ra with a trilled r. The word is deeply embedded in Basque vocabulary and place-names; Izarra is also the name of a village in Álava.
As a personal name, Izarra gained currency in the late 20th century amid the revival of indigenous Basque names and modern interest in celestial imagery, spreading from the Basque Country into wider Spain and France while remaining rare in English-speaking countries. Variants and related forms include Izar (a unisex Basque short form), Iza (hypocoristic), and the stylistic Izara; cross-language equivalents are Stella, Estelle/Estella, Estrella, and Star. The name is occasionally conflated with the historic Basque herbal liqueur brand Izarra, but the given name’s etymology is independent.
