robbinn.

Brit.

/ˈrɒbɪn/, U.S.

/ˈrɑbən/

Forms: late Middle English robyn, 1600s–1800s robin, 1600s– robbin, 1700s roebin, 1800s– robben.

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: roband n.

Etymology: Variant or alteration of roband n., apparently arising from reduction of the unstressed second syllable, perhaps reinforced by association with either Robin, pet form of the male forename Robert (see robin n.¹) or a word derived from it. Compare raeband n. and earlier rae-bend at rae n. Compounds, rope-bend n.

Nautical. Now historical.

Chiefly in plural = roband n.
