Robbin is a unisex given name of English origin, derived from the Germanic word 'hrodebine', which means 'famous'. The name was popularized during the Middle Ages and has since been used for individuals of both sexes. It was initially more common among females but has seen an increase in usage for males in recent years.
The name Robbin experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the years, with peaks in the mid-20th century and a steady decline since the late 1960s. The highest number of births was recorded in 1953 with 73 newborn girls named Robbin. However, from the 1980s onwards, the name has become increasingly rare, with fewer than 10 births per year since 1992.
