Re: Surname
This is a Basque surname and from a place name. I don't know the meaning but I've found two completely different explanations
i) "little grottoes"
ii)"place of oak trees"
As I believe that -eta is a place name ending rather than a diminutive ending I incline towards the second explanation, but as I know nothing of the Basque language my opinion is worthless.
