==Etymology==

Apart from the Getaria from Gipuzkoa, there is also another town in the coast at 61 kilometers from this, in Lapurdi (Labourd), the French Basque Country, also called Guéthary. In Basque, however, both are called in the same way. Both villages are located in the Basque coast. However, throughout history, many have been the ones trying to look for the difference of both names. Based on arquelogical findings, today, the most convincing hypothesis is that the name of Getaria comes from the latin word "cetaria". In the classic latin pronounced as (), it means the name of the place were canned fish is done. Indeed, in both places, evidence of roman installations for doing canned fish have been found.
Another possible origin of its name is that both names come from "guaita" in Gascon language which means “lookout”. During the Middle Ages, various villages on the Basque coast were colonialized by gascons among these villages both Getarias could be found. Therefore, it was believed that Getari could be the result of a mix between "guaita" and "–ari", a suffix that is used in Basque language for professions and would mean the vigilant. For others, though, the name of Getaria would come from the mix of "guaita" and "–erri" which these word put together mean the town of the vigilants.
Traditionally, the name of this location has been written as Guetaria. However, since 1980, the official toponym has become Getaria, which is the adaptation of the modern Basque orthography. Thus, in spanish it is called Guetaria, whereas in Basque, even if it is pronounced in the same way, it is written Getaria.
