Re: Name Origin
The word Obierta means "open", although I cannot assure weather it is a Old Spanish, Provencal or Basque word.
Obieta/Obierta also, are Basque surnames that originated in the province of Vizcaya, Spain. The meaning of the name is derived from the root "obi", meaning hole, cave.Hope this helps,
