The noble surname Izquierdo is of Spanish descent, and is derived from the word "izquierdo" meaning "left." The surname Izquierdo is of
nickname origin, being derived from a physical characteristic of the initial bearer. The word "izquierdo" is ultimately of Basque/Celtic origin deriving from a combination of the
Basque word "escu" meaning "hand" and the Celtic "kerros" meaning "left." In this instance, the nickname may have been applied, as an easy means of identification, to one who was left handed.
