Jean-Baptiste Orpustan proposed two etymological interpretations:
- a meaning of "low heather" from ilharr meaning "heather" and -be (from behere meaning "low") or
- "height of the low rocks" from gain meaning "high" and har meaning "rock" that indicates the high position of the village on the left bank of the Saison.
