Orbany Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
There are two different explanations for the name Orbán. It is likely that both are true and that they co-exist, meaning that the family name Orbáncould have two different origins.
- According to some sources, the Hungarian etymology is the same as the Belgian one: the Hungarian name Orbán is derived from the latin name, urbanus. Initially, Urbanus became Urban, often written Vrban during the XVth and XVIth centuries: the name later evolved into Orban, and finally Orbán. Originally it was a Christian name (there is a St. Orbán) that later became a family name. Apparently, it is still used as a Christian name in Hungary, but this is now fairly rare.
- For other sources, there is a truly Hungarian etymology of the name: Orbán is a combination of or(r) and ban. Ban is the Hungarian word for 'chieftain' or 'headman' (minor nobility), whereas orr means 'nose'. Does it mean that the Orbáns were noblemen with a big nose?
