Featured in baby name books
Robin began as a pet form of Robert, meaning “bright fame,” and also refers to the songbird; it is now used for both girls and boys. Robin moved from a nickname to a boy’s name to a girl’s name honoring the red-breasted bird, peaking in mid-20th-century America before falling out of regular use around 2004. Famous Robins include the legendary outlaw Robin Hood, comedian Robin Williams, and actress Robin Wright Penn. A namesake to consider is Robin Cavendish, a polio survivor who devoted himself to campaigning for the rights of disabled people.
