All around the world, דוראן (Duran , Durand , Durán ) is a common predominantly boy's, but very seldom female first name. The forename דוראן is habitual in Turkey, where it is quite a common principally masculine, but scarcely female name, Antigua and Barbuda, where it is quite a common boy's name, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Turkey, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the United States. More frequently, דוראן is the last name as well as the forename.
דוראן is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Duran , the Video game character; Durand , the operatic character in the opera La bohème by Ruggero Leoncavallo and Durand , the fictional character appearing in the movie « Un cargo pour l'Afrique », A Cargo to Africa.
