Surname: Durrant

This interesting name is of Norman origin, introduced into England after the Conquest of 1066 as the personal name "Durant", it is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Durandus", and derives from the Olde French "durant" meaning "enduring", from "durer", to endure, last, itself from the Latin "durus", hard, firm. As a personal name Durant and Durand were popular in the Middle Ages, recorded in the Middle Ages, recorded as "Durand" in 1115, Hampshire, "Doraunt" (1312, Yorkshire), and taken to mean "steadfast", and perhaps "obstinate". The modern surname can be found in at least thirteen different forms, ranging from Durant, Durand, Durrant and Durrand to Dorant, Dorran and Dorrins. One Nathan Durant was an early settler in the West Indies, he is recorded as a land-owner in the Barbadoes in 1678. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Walter Durand, which was dated 1196, in the "Pipe Rolls of Westmoreland", during the reign of King Richard 1, known as "The Lionheart", 1189 - 1199.

Answer 7

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/...

has 10,326 entries for the surname. One of them may be your great-great grandfather. They won't have details on living people, so you, your father and his father won't be there.

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/f...

shows 410 enries, but they may have more, since the site only shows 200 in each category at a time. Again, one may be your great great grandfather and living people are not there.

Here is an old one. They didn't always spell it the same.
