Cobin is an uncommon, yet distinctive name of Welsh origin. It's derived from the Old Welsh 'Cochyn,' which means 'small dog.' This name was traditionally used as a pet name or nickname but has evolved to be given as a formal first name in recent times.
The name Cobin experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a notable spike in births from 2002 to 2009. However, it seems that its popularity has since decreased, as indicated by the lower number of births recorded after 2016.
