The name Orban is of Hungarian origin, meaning 'from the hill'. It is derived from the Hungarian word 'hegy', which translates to 'hill', and 'ben', meaning 'on' or 'in'. Thus, Orban can be interpreted as 'dweller on the hill' or 'one who lives on the hill'. This name has been traditionally used in Hungary but has gained international recognition due to its association with Hungarian politics. It is pronounced as /ˈɔr.bɑn/.
The name Orban appears to have been quite popular around the early 20th century, particularly between 1918 and 1921 with a total of 44 births recorded over these years. Interestingly, there were no reported births in 1920 or 1922-1923, and after 1926, the popularity seems to have declined as there were only five births recorded in 1930.
