The modern Albanian pronunciation is derived from either the Latin or Greek source. However, the modern Albanian form, including the Italian form, derive through intermediate palatalized antecedent form as sq la Durratio, attested in the early centuries AD.Demiraj 2006, pp. 133–34 The presevation of Old sq grc-dor /u/ indicates the modern name derives from populations to whom the toponym was known in its original Doric pronunciation.Demiraj 2006, p. 132 The modern Albanian name evolved independently from the parent language of Albanian around the same period of the post-Roman era in the first centuries AD, observable through the differences in stress in the two toponyms (first syllable in Albanian, second in Italian) highlights. In English usage, the Italian borrowing en Durazzo used to be widespread, but the local Albanian borrowing en Durrës has gradually replaced it in recent decades.
