Urban Family History
Urban Name Meaning
English, French, German, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Ukrainian, Belorussian,
Hungarian (Urbán), and Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic): from a
medieval personal name (Latin Urbanus meaning ‘city dweller’, a
derivative of urbs ‘town’, ‘city’). The name was borne by a
4th-century saint, the patron saint of vines, and by seven early
popes. The Jewish surname represents an adoption of the Polish
personal name. HH, AC, AB, BG.
