Urbanus is Latin in Origin.
Urbanus is the Latin masculine form of the adjective urbānus, built from urbs, city, with the adjectival suffix -ānus, indicating belonging or relation. In classical Latin urbānus literally signified of the city or city-bred, and by extension in Roman usage could suggest cultivated manners as opposed to rusticity. As a personal name it belongs to the Roman cognomen style, using a descriptive adjective as an inherited or identifying name.
Christian transmission gave Urbanus its best-known record: Paul greets an Urbanus in Romans 16:9 as a fellow worker, and the Latin form later appears with several saints and popes, including the early Pope Urban I. Vernacular forms displaced the full ending in many regions: Urban in English, German, Polish, and Czech contexts, Urbain in French, and Urbano in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. The Latin Urbanus is now uncommon outside ecclesiastical, historical, or deliberately classical use.
