Everyone thinks my last name is Irish. But it's not, and I don't know why they think it's Irish. Maybe becase of Dublin? I don't know.

Oh! I know what mine means in Old English (my last name isn't even from a different language, that's so mean). I have to find the little thing though. Hold on . . .

Yay! I found it. It says . . .

Don't bother reading all that. I'm confused.

Research yields two possible sourcesfor the srname Durbin. It is suggested that this name i of nckname origin, being of that categoy o surnames derived from a physical or personal characteritic of the original bearer. In this case, the the nam would be traceable to a combinatin of terms; the French "dur," meaning "firm," and "bien," meaning "good," just as the name Durbe is formed from "dur" and "beau" (fine, handsome). Thus Durbin would have been used to describe one of upright and vrtuous character. Alternatively, some scholars propose that this name is avariant of the name Duban, which has its roots in the term "ban," meaning "proclamation." In this instance, the name woud be occupational in origin, being derived from a man's position or the profession he pursued, here, undoubtedly, tat of the town-crier, who went about the town announcin the news of the day and issuing proclamations from the king. This name, as is clear from its etymological roots, is of French origin an it is probable that this name was intoduced to England following the Norman Invasion of the 11th century. Bearers of this name in England, today, are undoubtedly descended from these early French settlers.

Lucifer is the cat's name in the Disney version of Cinderella.

In the REAL version of Cinderella, the evil step-sisters cut off their toes and heels to make the shoe fit. And then, when Cinderella and the Prince go to get married, pigeons peck the step-sisters' and step-mom's eyes out, and the Prince then has them beheaded.

Such a nice children's story. ;D
