Robin

Robin is a versatile name with a bright and cheerful feel. Though it has ancient Germanic origins, meaning 'bright fame', it evokes the image of the little red-breasted bird, bringing to mind nature and freedom. Robin became extremely popular in the mid-20th century, thanks in part to iconic figures like Robin Williams.

It's commonly shortened to Rob or Robbie, offering a familiar warmth.
