About Corbin
Corbin, the name of the castle where the Holy Grail was said to be hidden, came to the fore in the 1980s via actor Corbin Bernsen when he was the high profile star of LA Law, but its use is only now escalating as part of the mania for two-syllable names starting with c or k, as well as from the more youthful image of Corbin Bleu, the attractive actor-model-dancer-singer who was one of the stars of the Disney hit High School Musical.
Bruce Willis's character name in The Fifth Element was spelled Korben Dallas.
Pronounced COR-bin.
As of October 2026, Corbin ranked #512 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #203 in 2014, Nameberry popularity #571.
Editor's take: The name Corbin is a boy's name of Latin origin meaning "crow, raven".
