Corbyn Origin and Meaning

The name Corbyn is a girl's name.

Corbyn is a name with medieval English origins, traditionally masculine but now used for both genders, particularly for girls in recent years. Derived from an Old French surname meaning 'raven' or 'crow,' it carries connotations of intelligence and mystery associated with these birds in folklore. The spelling with a 'y' gives it a contemporary feel compared to the traditional 'Corbin.' This name gained modest attention in the early 2000s, appealing to parents seeking names with both historical depth and modern style. For feminine usage, Corbyn fits with trends toward surname-inspired girls' names with strong sounds. The name projects strength and individuality while maintaining an accessible pronunciation, making it both distinctive and practical.
