I was looking at the web page of this Basque cyclist ...
http://www.eneritziturriaga.com/biografia_eusk.php
.... and started wondering about how Basque names are formed. The name
she usually goes by is Eneritz Iturriaga, but her full name according
to this site is Eneritz Iturriagaexteberria Malaga.
I would guess (just a guess) that Malaga is her mother's family name,
similar to the way Castilians form names, but what about
Iturriagaexteberria? Where does the -exteberria part come from? I
know Exteberria by itself is a common Basque name. But why is it
attached to her "normal" surname?
