 At this point of time there are about 130 families with the surname Durben living in Germany. In the United States are more than 160 families and a few are living in Great Britain. Apart of this alterations and transformations are existing like Durbin or Durwen.
All presently known roots of the Durben family derive from Germany in the region of the Eifel. It is assumed that all these Durben families derive from an one and only originator.
