robbin
/ˈrɒbɪn/(also robben) Nautical. Now historical
noun
Chiefly in plural = roband.
Origin
Late 15th century; earliest use found in Naval Account. Variant or alteration of roband, apparently arising from reduction of the unstressed second syllable, perhaps reinforced by association with either Robin, pet-form of the male forename Robert or a word derived from it.
