Robin Origin and Meaning
The name Robin is a girl's name of English origin meaning "bright fame".
After a 60 year slide down the popularity ladder, Robin made a turnaround in 2020 and began climbing back into favor for baby girls. One reason may be its new status as one of the most evenly-divided gender neutral names.
For girls, Robin ranks in the Top 100 in the Netherlands, but for boys it's become extremely popular in France, Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland. And the trendiness of the entire group of bird names certainly helps it sound more stylish too.
