Anyone knows the etymology of this iberian surname? Wikipedia in Spanish claims it comes from a word for a pasture, a paddock or a grassland full of tumuli... Using the basque language according to Arana Eta but wikipedia does not give the basque original nor its own etymology.

The family name comes from the placename Larrea in the Basque Country and the placename comes from Basque larre 'pasture, meadow'.
