Iáaki Origin and Meaning

The name Iáaki is a boy's name of Basque origin.

Iáaki is a masculine name that appears to be a variant or stylized version of Iñaki (also written as Inaki), which is a Basque name. In Basque culture, Iñaki is equivalent to Ignatius and derives from the Latin name Ignatius, meaning 'fiery one'. The Basque version is particularly associated with Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order. The acute accent and alternative spelling may represent a regional variation or personalized adaptation of the traditional Basque name. While uncommon internationally, the name carries cultural significance in Basque communities and parts of Spain. The name's pronunciation typically emphasizes the second syllable, though this can vary based on regional dialects and individual preference.
