Durward is a unique title and not one you see very often. The English title is derived from the Germanic terms duru, meaning “door,” and wart, meaning “ruler” or “power.” Durward, in turn, means “one who defends the house” and “gatekeeper.” This interesting honorific has an old-money sound and offers the opportunity for some adorable nicknames, such as Drew.
