What a fabulous name!
Jun. 7th, 2007 08:54 amFrom a press release about the Miami PD's 'Operation Difference':
...Crime Suppression Unit’s Captain Milady Irizarry...Irizarry's a distinctively Basque name, btw. From one source of unproven value:
'Respelling of Basque Irizarri, a variant of the Basque surname Irizar meaning ‘ancient village’, from iri ‘village’ + zar ‘old’, or a habitational name from a town called Irisarri in Nafarroa Beherea province, Basque Country.
