Robin

The given name Robin was originally a diminutive of Robert, derived from Rob and the diminutive Old French suffix -in. It is nowadays used as an independent name. The alternative spellings of Robyn or Robbin are sometimes used. In England it is generally regarded as a male name, although it is sometimes given to females. In the U.S., it is more popular as a female name than a male one -- during the 1990s, for example, it was the 393rd most popular name given to girls and the 709th most popular given to boys.
