Navarro is a Spanish and French surname.[1] Navarro is a habitational surname denoting someone from Navarre (Basque: Nafarroa)[2][better source needed] after the Kingdom of Pamplona took on the new naming in the high Middle Ages, while also keeping its original meaning of 'Basque-speaking person' in a broader sense, an ethnic surname.[3] Ultimately the name is derived from the Basque word naba (meaning 'plain next to mountains').[4]
