Durran is English in Origin.

Durran is a rare English given name and surname form derived from Old French Durand, from Latin Durandus (durare “to endure”). It carries the meaning “enduring, steadfast, long-lasting” and shares its root with English words durable and duration. Through Norman influence, Durand entered medieval England, where variant spellings proliferated; Durran reflects a later Anglicized/phonetic spelling that also aligns with the Spanish/Catalan surname Duran/Durán of the same origin.

Used widely as a personal name in medieval France, Durand survived chiefly as surnames Durant, Durrant, and Duran in Britain and Iberia. Durran appears in British parish records as a family name, with occasional modern revival as a given name in the English-speaking world, often via the surname-to-first-name trend. Close variants include Durand, Durant, Durrant, Duran, and Durán; related forms are Durandus in Latin. The name suggests resilience and reliability.
