The Dubin Name: Records, Origin and Blazon

Dubin began as a Russian family name. The usual explanation, from Elsdon Smith, is “dweller near an oak tree”.

• Landscape names of this kind told neighbours where a family's house stood.
• According to the 2010 US Census, the Dubin surname had 2,731 bearers. That is enough to place it in the top 25,000 American surnames. 974 people born in France between 1891 and 2000 carried the Dubin name at birth. Births ran at 61 in 1891–1900 and 107 in 1991–2000.

Family crest and blazon

A coat of arms was granted to a particular family line, not to everyone named Dubin, so a shared surname is a clue rather than a claim to the arms. Get the complete Dubin report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
