One can encounter great variation in the spelling of surnames: in early times, spelling in general, and thus the spelling of names was not yet standardized; and later, spellings would change with branching and movement of families. Variations of the name Urbach include Urbach, Urach, Urbache, Urbaches, Urbachs, Urbaach, Urbachh, Urbacch, Urbachhs, Urbachhes, Irbach, Urback, Irback, Erback and many more.

First found in Baden, where the name was anciently associated with the tribal conflicts of the area. They declared allegiances to many nobles and princes of early history, lending their influence in struggles for power and status within the region. They branched into many houses, and their contributions were sought by many leaders in their search for power.

An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Urbach or a variant listed above:
