The Araneta family is a Filipino family that originated from Gipuzkoa, the Basque region of northern Spain.[citation needed] The name is derived from the Basque word aran meaning "valley",[1] with the suffix -eta meaning "abundance of", but also a locative term denoting place. In this case, the Araneta name means "the family that comes from the valley".
