Roban Origin and Meaning

The name Roban is a boy's name of Scottish origin.

Roban is a masculine name with several potential origins. It may be a variation of Robin, which derives from the Germanic elements 'hrod' (fame) and 'berht' (bright). Alternatively, it could relate to the Irish name Ruadhán, meaning 'red-haired' or 'little red one.' In some contexts, it appears as a surname or place name before transitioning to use as a given name. Roban has a strong, concise sound while remaining relatively uncommon in most English-speaking countries. The name carries a subtle medieval quality while still feeling contemporary and accessible. Its cross-cultural potential and masculine sound appeal to parents seeking something distinctive yet pronounceable that works well internationally.
