Robbi Origin and Meaning

The name Robbi is a boy's name.

Robbi is a diminutive form of Robert or Robin, names with Germanic origins meaning "bright fame" or "shining with glory." This spelling variation, ending with an 'i' rather than the more common 'y' or 'ie,' gives the name a more distinctive, modern feel while maintaining its friendly, approachable quality. Robbi works as both a standalone name and a nickname, offering versatility. Throughout the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s-70s, this casual form saw modest usage, though it's less common today. While traditionally masculine, Robbi has occasionally been used for girls as well. The name projects a youthful, cheerful image with its bouncy sound and informal character.
