National Robin Day

We commemorate National Robin Day on March 3 every year. Both boys and girls can carry the name Robin, with the male version being a diminutive of the German name Robert, while the female version is often linked to the red-breasted robin bird. This celebration highlights the distinctiveness of the name and those who bear it, providing a chance to explore its historical journey and present-day significance.

History of National Robin Day

Robin serves as both a first name and a last name for individuals of any gender, originating from the combination of ‘Ro’ meaning ‘fame’ and ‘berht’ meaning ‘bright’. The name is experiencing a resurgence among boys as it loses popularity among girls. Notable figures such as Robin Hood, Christopher Robin, Robin Williams, and Robin the Boy Wonder have all carried this name. It returned to the U.S. list of the top 1,000 baby names for boys in 2015, after disappearing in 1999. In Europe, the name sometimes bears a feminine association but is predominantly given to boys. In England during 2014, 88% of babies named Robin were boys. Although it was once more common as a girl’s name in the U.S., the gender gap is closing, with recent years showing a more balanced distribution between boys and girls named Robin. In 2014, 46% of Robins born in the U.S. were male.

Variants and nicknames for Robin include Robyn, Robine, Robynne, Robbin, Robyne, and Robbyn. In France, Robin is also a well-known surname. The name has been adopted by families as a surname across many English-speaking countries, with affectionate nicknames like Bobby, Robbie, or Rob.
