Basque name and surname. Its etymology comes from [ol (h)a/ola] (Hut, Hut) with suffixation of the adjective [barri/berri] (New, New); [ol (h)a/ola] could be understood as (Ironworks or Place destined to the metallurgical activity) when, starting from the previous definition, that building has been used for that industrial purpose. Ola, with the sense of' Place of 'or 'Place of Storage of', is always used postponed, not the case of Olabarri - a nouns related to Pagola botany (Place of Beech, Beech), Artola zoology (Place of Sheep, Corral or Sheep Sheepfold), Arriola geology (Place of Stones, Stony) and anthroponyms Manterola (House or Hut of Mantero). In some cases it can be equivalent to the abundancial desinencia [- tza], as in Egurtza > Egurrola, to identify a mountainous area owned by the community and destined to obtain wood and firewood by the neighborhood. Also, depending on the context, it can accept other values, such as 'Beat, Beat, Pulse, Pulsation', but with an independent character, that is, without prefixation or suffixation 'Bihotzeko ola' (The heartbeat).
