izena
Izena is a Basque noun meaning "name" or "designation." It refers to the word or phrase by which a person, place, or thing is known. In Basque, izena covers both personal names and the names of objects, brands, or places, and it appears in everyday expressions related to identity.
Common phrases include nire izena = "my name," zure izena = "your name," and bere izena = "his/her name."
The word is a general noun rather than a proper name, and Basque lacks grammatical gender, so
Because izena denotes a general concept rather than a specific proper name, it is not ordinarily capitalized
