Antxo

Antxo is a term that can refer to several things, primarily a type of anchovy, but also potentially a personal name or a place name.

As a culinary term, "antxo" is the Basque word for anchovy, a small, oily saltwater fish. In Basque cuisine, anchovies are a staple ingredient, often prepared in various ways, including salted, marinated in vinegar, or fried. Dishes like Gilda, a traditional Basque tapa, prominently feature antxoa. The quality and preparation of antxoa are highly regarded in the region.

Beyond its culinary meaning, "Antxo" could also be a given name, though it is less common. It might appear as a personal moniker in certain cultural contexts. Additionally, "Antxo" could be a toponym, referring to a place. However, without further context, specifying a particular location is difficult. Further clarification would be needed to determine the specific meaning of "Antxo" if it is not referring to the fish.
