Other names may be a little more on the exotic side. Basque names are frequently seen in Spain but are not as common in other countries. Basque refers to not only a region in northeast Spain and southwest France but a beautiful and unique language as well. Aitor is one example of a very cool Basque name that is popular in Spain. It means “good fathers” and was the name of a legendary ancestor of the Basques. Iker is another Basque name and means “visitation.”
