Bayarri
Bayarri or Bayerri is a surname. One theory of its origin is that it is derived from the Catalan names Bayer or Bayés, which may in turn refer to Bayeux in northwestern France.[1] An alternative theory is that it is a Basque name, derived from a place in Álava in northeast Spain, a historic Basque territory.[2]
It is the surname of:
- Enrique Galán Bayarri (b. 1946), Spanish footballer
- Josep Maria Bayarri i Hurtado (1886–1970), Spanish writer and poet
- Julio Iricibar Bayarri (b. 1993), Spanish footballer
- M. J. Bayarri (1956–2014), Spanish statistician
