Izaskun is Basque in Origin.
Izaskun is a Basque feminine name tied to the Marian shrine of Andra Mari de Izaskun near Azpeitia (Gipuzkoa). The toponym likely comes from Basque izats “broom (shrub)” + gune “place,” with phonetic contraction to -zkun, thus meaning “place of broom,” “broom thicket.” As with many Basque devotional names, a landscape term became a theonym and then a given name, evoking the yellow-flowering broom that carpets Basque hillsides.
In use as a personal name since at least the late 19th century, it spread in Basque-speaking areas through local Marian devotion and saw broader recognition in 20th‑century Spain; singer Izaskun Uranga helped popularize it. Variants and short forms include Izazkun (older spelling), Izas, and Iza; spellings with Y- (Yzaskun) occur historically. The name remains distinctly Basque, akin to Arantzazu, Itziar, or Iratxe.
