Corbett Origin and Meaning

The name Corbett is a boy's name meaning "little raven".

This British surname has a somewhat aristocratic air, which ties in to its association with the early American boxing champ "Gentleman Jim" Corbett. Also borne by actor and country singer John Corbett, it blends the sounds of the more popular Corbin, Cory, Barrett, Bennett, and Beckett.

The name comes from the French corbeau paired with a the diminutive suffix, -et. It may have started out as a nickname for someone with dark hair (like Corbin did).
