Saralegui Surname User-submission:

Saralegui is a Basque toponymic surname. It comes from the noun sarale (hay, dry grass, forage for the cattle, straw), but the suffixation offers different and possible interpretative criteria. One of them would have as an option the noun -tegi (stable, place of storage, storehouse, warehouse), accepting the fall of the occlusive 't' (Saraletegi and Saraleegi), and subsequent fusion in a single 'e' of the two contiguous vowels (Saralegi).

Saralegui Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Saralegui is a Basque toponymic surname. It comes from the noun sarale (hay, dry grass, forage for the cattle, straw), but the suffixation offers different and possible interpretative criteria. One of them would have as an option the noun -tegi (stable, place of storage, storehouse, warehouse), accepting the fall of the occlusive 't' (Saraletegi and Saraleegi), and subsequent fusion in a single 'e' of the two contiguous vowels (Saralegi). In this case su would mean 'dawn' or 'condition'. Another of the suppositions would point to (h)egi (slop), concluding in 'hay slope, forage'. The third one would be from egi, meaning 'place of', which would provide the concept 'place populated with hay'.
