History
The family name is related to the King James of England and Scotland through the marriage of Maria Soto-Yarritu Villasevil to Hernando de Soto y Fitzjames-Stuart through the 9th Duke of Berwick in Spain. Ancestral homes include Lezama, Amurrio, Madaria and Salmanton in Ayala Land, in Alava of the Basque Country.
Coat of arms
The gentlemen's Major Stamp was received by the Yarritu family in Bilbao and in the Real Chancillery in Valladolid in 1726, 1790, and 1798. As a result, the coat of arms was designed in a field of silver with three black smelting basins, forming a triangle, with a golden band stretched across the center. The emblem states (English translation): "Going well, they will not suffer".
