It has recently been suggested to me that the Basque placename and surname 
Urrea is actually a mutation from Visigothic Urias, evolving as 
Urias-Uria-Urria-Urrea, being therefore a Germanic name.  I am ignorant about 
the possible direct influence of germanic languages on Basque, and I do not 
know to what extent or degree the Visigothic culture might have interacted 
with Basque lingüistics, genetics, or culture in general, or if it did, in 
which regions of the Basque culture this might have happened.  As far as I 
understood, Urrea is a derivative from the basque root Ur, which is used in 
many basque words.
Can anyone help me on this?
