Meaning & History
Coined in the 19th century by Sabino Arana Goiri who based it on Basque aberri "fatherland; homeland" (ultimately derived from Basque aba "father" and herri "country; village; people, nation"). The name was in use until 1939. After the Spanish Civil War, however, women answering to Aberria were forced to change their name due to its "conflict-laden meaning".
