原文: Urban is also the form of Urbanus in the following countries:- Bulgaria, where it is spelled as Урбан- Croatia- Czech Republic- Macedonia, where it is spelled as Урбан- Romania- Russia, where it is spelled as Урбан- Slovakia- Ukraine, where it is spelled as УрбанAlso, in reply to the earlier comment that claims that Urban is solely a surname in the Czech Republic: that is not true. Perhaps it is virtually unused in this day and age, but as a surname it is patronymic, meaning that bearers are descended from someone who carried Urban as a first name. Apart from that, all eight popes that were named Urbanus are typically referred to as Urban in Czech, so Urban really is used as a first name in the Czech Republic. Perhaps an archaic first name, but it's incorrect to say that the name has only ever existed as a surname in the Czech Republic.
原文: This is the name I chose for my son. Upon first hearing it, many people express dismay and confusion, but once people get used to it, they really seem to like it. In Poland, Urban is a surname. It is sentiment of many in my culture (Highlanders of Poland's Tatra Mountains) that this name is often used to describe someone with big ears.
