Notes:

English.

Robin has been a masculine given name for many centuries, originally derived from Rob, the pet name for Robert [q.v.]. It has only recently become popular as a feminine name, although Robyn is now the more favoured spelling for girls.

Robine and Robynne are also spelling variants.
