Robbe is of Dutch origin, translating to 'robber' or 'plunderer'. It was originally a nickname given to someone who resembled a robber due to their appearance or behavior. The name has since evolved into being used as a given name, particularly in the Netherlands and Flanders. Robbe is composed of two elements: 'robb-' meaning 'to steal', and '-e' which denotes a diminutive suffix.
"Robbe was a popular baby girl name in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with peaks in popularity between 1963 to 1977."
