History & Origin

Cobin is a modern American boys' name closely tied to Corbin, which comes from a Norman French surname built on the Latin 'corvus,' meaning 'raven.' Cobin also echoes Coby and Cody, popular in the same decades. Trimmed, tidy boys' names of this kind rose through the late twentieth century; Cobin appears in United States records from the mid-1980s and reached its faint high in the late 2000s.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year even at its peak, so a Cobin from that high would be a young adult now. It reads as an of-its-era coinage rather than a revival, and parents drawn to it also consider Corbin and Coby.

Did you know? Cobin rides the vogue for -bin and -bin/-den boys' names, a near neighbor of Corbin and Coby that share its trim, modern sound.
