The Story of Alazne
Alazne is a Basque feminine name meaning miracle.

The Basque language (Euskara) is one of the oldest languages in Europe with no known relatives, making Alazne a truly ancient and unique name.
Alazne is primarily used in the Basque Country, an autonomous region spanning parts of northern Spain and southwestern France. Like many Basque names, it has maintained steady use through a cultural revival of Basque language and identity that began in the 1970s and 1980s.
