Urbas Family History
Urbas Name Meaning
Slovenian: nickname or perhaps metonymic occupational name from urbas ‘uppers (i.e. the leathery parts of a shoe that are above the sole)’. Polish (Urbaś) and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from a derivative of the personal name Urban . The reason for its adoption as a surname by Jews (who never used it as a personal name) is unknown.
