The word is a common surname in the Basque region of Spain. A catholic bishop named Javier E is at the head of the Opus Dei, Carlos and Emilio E. are actors, Renè E. a TV writer and producer. There are also a few historical figures with that surname.
It is spelled quite differently at times. The original is "Etxebarrìa", "Echevarrìa" (or "Echebarrìa")in Castillan. Ciao, Flavio Well now, I do find that interesting. Thanks Flavio. I was trying to be "smug" and ended up learning something. ;-) Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
