History & Origin

Robynn is a spelling of Robyn/Robin, a medieval pet form of Robert (Germanic Hrodebert, 'bright fame') that also gave its name to the robin redbreast. Robin remains unisex; the Y-spellings lean female. This double-N form is modern, which we note (said 'ROB-in').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S., far behind Robin. Rare, birdlike, and retro.

Did you know? The bird was named after the human name, not the other way round — English speakers took to calling it 'robin redbreast' the way they'd nickname a friend.
