About Robin
Gentle but solid, as much of a word as it is a name, Robin is a rising star in the US, and a favorite in Belgium, France, Czechia and Switzerland. With memorable namesakes like Robin Hood, Robin Williams, Christopher Robin, and Robin the Boy Wonder, a recent year saw Robin feature as a gender neutral choice in the US, ranking at #703 for boys and #704 for girls.
Robin for boys#705 US
Traditionally used as a Medieval English diminutive of Robert, Robin is just as likely to bring to mind the bird, and it was likely this that led to its usage as a unisex choice. In the US, its high point for both genders was in the 1950s when it ranked in the Top 150 for boys and the Top 30 for girls.
A neutral choice in the Netherlands, it ranks either exclusively or more highly for boys in the UK, France, Switzerland, Estonia, and Belgium.
Robin for girls#704 US
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.
Pronounced ROB-in.
As of October 2026, Robin ranked #705 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #143 in 1956, Nameberry popularity #191.
