Altube

Altube is a surname of Basque origin, found primarily in the Basque Country and Navarre, regions in northern Spain.

Like many surnames, it likely originated to distinguish individuals living in specific geographical locations. Over centuries, families bearing the Altube surname have spread throughout Spain and, with emigration, to other parts of the world, particularly Latin America. While there isn't a single prominent historical figure universally recognized by this surname, numerous individuals named Altube have contributed to various fields in their respective communities. The surname's presence continues to be a marker of Basque heritage for those who carry it.
