----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I believe it is a derivative of that oh-so-common Basque name Etcheverria,
Etcheverry, Etcheberry, etc., meaning "new house."  Linda, can you offer
a more scholarly linguistically-oriented response? (My husband would
appreciate this as well; I'm an Etcheverria by marriage)
