History & Origin
The meaning behind Korben is 'raven', and it sits in the English-language tradition. The spelling with a K gives a modern, streamlined look to a name that echoes the more established Corbin. Most of its recognition comes through that related form rather than a long record of its own.
Phonetically it is two firm syllables, KOR-ben, easy to say and to spell despite the unusual K. Actors Corbin Bernsen and Corbin Bleu carry the C-spelled cousin, which keeps the sound familiar even where Korben itself is new.
