The commune name in basque is Arboti-Zohota.[http://www.euskaltzaindia.net/index.php?option=com_eoda&Itemid=471&lang=en&view=toponimia Euskaltzaindia - Academy of the basque language]

According to Jean-Baptiste Orpustan Arboti is the spelling preserved in basque but the meaning is uncertain. If it is from the Latin (borrowed from arbor(e)), the name may signify a wooded place. For Zohota (Sussaute) he suggests a basque origin of zozoeta meaning "Place of blackbirds".

The following table details the origins of the commune name and other names in the commune.
