The original name would seem to be Czech Dvořan or Slovak Dvoran. Dworan could be an Austrian adaptation since is pronounced in German. The etymology is probably Slavic dvor (dwor in Polish) 'court, manor, yard'.

Thank you. This will help in my search. I do not know anything about my family roots.

Dworanowski and Dworanowicz are Polish surnames (both extremely rare).

Thank you. It must be rare because nothing comes up when I search it.
