Aguirre surname
« on: March 24, 2007, 04:57:24 pm »
What does Aguirre mean? Well, for those who don't know it is a basque last name and it means open space or pasture. It comes from the word agir in Basque language. However, my dear friend from Bilbao assures me the name also refers to a high place, some thing like the top of a mountain. In that sense it could be symbolic, considering Aguirre was Ennis and Jack's boss.

May I say this concerning the name: Aguirre:

Aguirre, I may have solve some of it, as in my Petit-Larousse (French dictionnary from France, known and greatly used in French-Canada and published in 1959), aguerrir is the verb: Accoutumer à la guerre which as I am translating it myself:
to accostom to war!! Wow, wow!!

And, you think it is Basque??

Hugs!

It is a Basque lastname. It is not something I think. There's documentation about it. In fact, I added a link on my first post. In Spain everyone knows Aguirre is Basque.

it means open space

There was some aguirre between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it.

Thanks Front-Ranger!!

Aguirre is like sign of the incoming times, and present time!!

Of boys must be boys; showing their love... Ennis and Jack, and more!!

Of boys must become men!! And they do become men!!

I feel that is what their boss is... as the name Aquirre imlies and states, and I will prove that later.

With all you guys and gals help,

hugs!!
