Can anyone give me the Irish Gaeilge spelling for the name Durbin. It is a family name, the Last name or Sir name of my family. i.e. Steve Durbin. Thanks Steve |

Steve a chara, It would appear to me that the etymology of Durbin is in a language other than Irish. Mac Duarcáin > Durkin, a branch of the Ó Haras, doesn't come into the picture. The only thing looking like it in the Gaelic world, and a long shot at it, would be Mc Dormann (< from Scottish Gaelic), the original of, I don't know. Good luck with the search. Ádh mór. |
