Spanish (Armendáriz; of Basque origin): patronymic
from the Basque personal name Armendari or Armentari,
from Latin armentarius ‘herdsman’.Spanish and French
variant of Armendaritze, a habitational name from a village in
Low Navarre named Armendaritze. The place name is commonly said to be
composed of the elements ar(ri) ‘rock’ + mend(i)
‘mountain’ + aritz ‘oak’. However, this is probably a folk
etymology; the place name is more likely the same as the patronymic
surname, except that -itz here is to be interpreted as a
locative suffix: ‘Armendari’s place’ or perhaps ‘herdsman’s
place’.
