Surnames: Fleurant Submitted by: Dennis Charles Fleurant Origin of Ura, Meaning of Ura Origin: Polish surname expert Kazimierz Rymut mentions the name Z*uraw (z* = the z with a dot over it, pronounced like the "s" in "measure") in his book on Polish surnames, and he says that the derivation of the surname is from the noun z*uraw, "crane," referring to the bird -- apparently the meaning "gantry" came later. By the way, the Ukrainian word, though spelled in Cyrillic, is pronounced and means the same thing. Rymut mentions that in old Polish the word was Z*oraw, and it appears in records as early as 1204. I suppose the name may have started as nickname because someone reminded folks of a crane -- maybe he was thin and walked a certain way? All these centuries later it can be hard to figure out exactly why a certain name got stuck to certain people, the best we can do is examine what the name means and suggest plausible interpretations. There are a lot of names from this root, including Z*urawek (little crane), Z*urawicz (son of the crane), Z*urawik (little crane, or crane's son), and Z*urawski (coming from a place named for cranes). Z*uraw itself is one of the more popular ones -- as of 1990 there were some 1,400 Poles with this name. They live all over the country, with the largest numbers in the provinces of Warsaw (80), Kalisz (88), Lublin (119), Rzeszow (89), Siedlce (101), Sieradz (85), Tarnobrzeg (228), and Wroclaw (96). The name seems to be a bit more common in southern and especially southeastern Poland, but not so much so that it suggests anything helpful to me. William F.
