Duranville (French pronunciation: [dyʁɑ̃vil]) is a commune in the Eure department in northern France.
Toponym
The name of the locality is attested in the forms Durandi villam (c. 1034), Duranvilla (c. 1150, in a charter of Henry II), and Duranvilla (1159).[3] Durandi villam is a medieval place-name formation in -ville (from the Gallo-Roman VILLA, meaning "rural estate"), preceded by the Old Norse personal name Þórr (Old Danish Thor). Its proposed phonetic development is *Thorr → Dorr (lenition of the initial /t/) → *Durr (change from /ɔ/ to /y/), followed by -hramn (an alternative form of -hrafn, meaning "raven").
