EtymologyZuriñe is a feminine Basque given name, created in the early twentieth century as a Basque equivalent of Blanca and Blanche. Coined by nationalist linguist Sabino Arana (1865–1903), it combines the adjective zuri (“white”) with the feminine suffix -ne, a pattern Arana used for several Basque coinages. The name thus means “white” or “fair-coloured”, reflecting the same concept as Blanche.
