Yes, we know, Iker and Visitation seem far too dissimilar words to lớn even be related, right? That’s because the Basque language is an isolated language which developed naturally and has no linguistic relationship with other European languages (such as Latin, Celtic or Germanic). As such, the survival of the Basque language in & of itself is remarkable. In any case, Iker is a Basque name that basically refers khổng lồ the liturgical feast day in observance of the visit of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Elizabeth. In the Bible, Mary (who is pregnant with Jesus) goes to lớn visit Elizabeth (who is pregnant with John the Baptist). “And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, & she exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you aao ước women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!’” Elizabeth is humbled that Mary should pay her a visit because she acknowledges Mary as “the mother of my Lord.” Elizabeth’s own baby, John the Baptist, will also play a future important role in accepting Jesus as the Messiah & baptizing Him in the River Jordan. The two women are basically celebrating their miraculous pregnancies (later traditions pair them as cousins); for obvious reasons, this passage in the Bible is very important to lớn Christians (particularly Catholics). As a masculine given name, Iker was brought lớn the international stage by the Spanish footballer and goalkeeper Iker Casillas who helped lead Spain lớn the 2010 World Cup Championship. Not surprisingly, Iker has become an enormously popular name in both Spain và Catalonia.
