Origin

The last name Yñigo (or Iñigo) has its origins in the Basque Country.

Meaning

Usually surnames were originated in the Basque Country as name of houses, being families known by the name of the house they inhabited once. Yñigo was originally spelled Eneko and evolved from the Basque words ene, which means 'my', and ko, which means 'little'. Therefore, Yñigo means 'my little (love/dear)'.

Conflict

Confusion arises with the change and the number of changes in name, the proof is the following: Those names Eneko or Enneco or time change to Einygo, lamented, Endego, Enec, Eneco, Eneg, Enego, Enegot, Éneq, Enyego, Enyeguez, Enyégues, Ennego, Ennygo, Eynigo, Henego, Henneco, Inego, Inigo, Innago, Iñaki, Iñigo, Iniguez, Íñiquiz, Migo, Ñiguez, Yeniego, Yenigo, Yeniguez, Ynigo, Ynyéguez, Ýñigo, Yñigo, Yniguez and Yñiquiz. The enormous variety in the name is due to phonetic reasons for the continued displacement of people, lack of literacy, and other causes that enable name radiation such as enabling the success of a family in filling different socioeconomic niches. We must bear in mind that is so much a name as a surname. Disseminated throughout the Hispanic world and otherwise.
