Origins
El nombre Ergoyena significa en lengua vasca "la tierra más alta". Está formado por (h)err(i) ("tierra, país o pueblo"), goien ("lo más alto) y -a (artículo).
Ergoyena forma una especie de ramal o desvío del valle de La Barranca. Se encuentra situado a algo más altitud que el resto de pueblos vecinos de la comarca, que ocupan el fondo del valle, así Lizarraga se encuentra a 589 m de altura, frente a los 508 m de Echarri Aranaz o los 515 m de Bacáicoa. De ahí se cree que deriva el nombre de Ergoyena.
El mismo topónimo aparece en otros lugares del País Vasco y Navarra refiriéndose siempre a barrios o lugares altos.
