Biscayne (ethnonym)
Until the early 19th century the word Biscayne (= Biscayan) was a demonym and ethnonym referring somewhat ambiguously to the Basque Country (usually excluding Navarre), or more often the Basque people in general. For example, Saint Francis Xavier identified himself as a "Biscayne" — or ''vizcaino'', as he wrote it – meaning a Basque. Whaling crews from Labourd in the north Atlantic are also referred to as Biscaynes in the 16–18th century. The word Biscayne left an imprint in different place names and surnames (last names) of Americas and Philippines, related to the Basque whale hunting and colonisation of the "New World".Bakker, Peter (1987).

Bartolomeo Biscaino
Bartolomeo Biscaino (1632–1657) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active in his native Genoa. Life He was the son, and pupil, of Giovanni Andrea Biscaino. He afterwards became a pupil of Valerio Castello. His career was cut short by the plague which visited Genoa, and to which his father and himself fell victims.
