Robbinson
Robbinson Origin and Meaning
Robbinson is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of 'Robinson,' which originated as an English surname meaning 'son of Robin.' Robin itself is a diminutive of Robert, derived from Germanic elements meaning 'fame' and 'bright.' This alternative spelling with the double 'b' gives the name a distinctive quality while maintaining its connection to the more traditional form. Robbinson gained some limited usage as a first name following the popularity of Daniel Defoe's novel 'Robinson Crusoe,' which associated the name with adventure and self-reliance. While not commonly used as a first name in most English-speaking countries, it has appeared occasionally, particularly in Caribbean and Latin American communities, where variant spellings of English names are more common.
