Its name Huarte came from the expression in the Basque language ur arte ('between waters'). In modern Basque, the word uharte or ugarte with shares the same etymological origin.

The town of Huarte-Araquil was founded in a strategic location. It is a narrowing of the Barranca and supported by a meander of the Arakil river that served to help in the defense of the population.
