The earliest recorded instances of the name Urbine can be found in historical documents from the region of Tuscany, particularly in the cities of Florence and Siena. It is believed that the name may have been associated with families who held positions of influence or authority within these urban centers.

One of the earliest notable bearers of the name Urbine was Giovanni Urbine, a wealthy merchant and banker who lived in Florence during the late 13th century. Records show that he was involved in financing several notable architectural projects, including the construction of the Basilica di Santa Croce.

In the 15th century, the name Urbine gained further prominence with the rise of the Urbine family in the city of Urbino, located in the Marche region of central Italy. This family produced several notable figures, including Federico da Montefeltro (1422-1482), the Duke of Urbino and a renowned patron of the arts and architecture.

In the 17th century, the name Urbine was also associated with the Italian composer and musician, Giovanni Battista Urbine (1635-1692), who was born in Venice and is known for his contributions to the development of the Baroque style of music.
