♥ DonateMeaning & History
A medieval English diminutive of Robert, now generally regarded as an independent name. Robin Hood was a legendary English hero and archer who redistributed wealth from the rich to the poor. The name is also borne by the character Christopher Robin from the Winnie-the-Pooh books by A. A. Milne, inspired by the author's son Christopher Robin Milne (1920-1996). Another notable bearer was the American actor and comedian Robin Williams (1951-2014). In modern times it has also been adopted as a feminine name, and it may sometimes be bestowed in reference to the red-breasted bird.
