LAUBURU means 4 heads; neologism created by a Zamorano monk at the end of the seventeenth century to designate the cross of four equal and curvilinear arms in the form of a comma, in a formation similar to the swastika, today a characteristic symbol of Basque identity, but which is very frequently found among the artistic representations of some European peoples, such as the Celts and Germans, for example, in Visigothic drawings and carvings.
