Basque Uruguayans Explained

Basque Uruguayans are citizens of Uruguay who are of Basque ancestry.

Although this figure does not imply Basque descent for each individual, it is estimated that up to 10% of Uruguay's population has at least one parent with a Basque surname.^[1] The first wave of Basque immigrants to Uruguay came from the French side of the Basque country beginning about 1824.
