Recorded 1929–2023 · United States
Robbin was most popular in 1959, when 713 American babies were given the name — ranking #643 that year. It was not recorded in 2025. Across 1880–2025 the Social Security Administration has recorded 10,384 people named Robbin.
Robbin first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1929, which makes it about 96 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 81 of the 97 years since.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 10,384 American births named Robbin between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States. Of those, roughly 8,889 are estimated to be alive today.
Robbin was not recorded in 2025. The SSA withholds any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, so fewer than five American babies were given it.
Robbin is too rare for a direction to mean much. It averaged 6 births a year across 2021–2025 against 8 a year a decade earlier — at these counts a single baby moves the percentage, and any year under five births is withheld at source.
Measured on recorded births. American births overall have fallen since 2007, so most established names lose births over any recent decade — a name can shed births and still hold its rank. Compare the rank above, which is measured against the other names of the same year.
Across the whole record Robbin is mostly a girl’s name — 82.7% of the 10,384 Americans given it were girls and 17.3% were boys. It changed hands: since 1947 it has gone mainly to girls, having gone mainly to boys before that. In births since 2016 it is 41% girls and 59% boys.
Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.
Roughly 8,889 Americans named Robbin are alive today — 86% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 64 years old, and half are between 57 and 68. That is a narrow band: Robbin arrived and faded within about a decade rather than staying in steady use.
An estimate, not a count. Recorded births are carried forward through the Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, by age and sex. That table describes mortality in one recent year, so it credits the oldest cohorts with today’s survival rather than the harsher rates they actually lived through — the further back a name peaked, the more this will overstate how many remain. It counts people issued a Social Security number at birth, not immigrants who arrived later.
How much more common the name is in each state than across the country as a whole.
