Robbins Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Robert,' from nick. Rob, and diminutive Rob-in; compare Col-in from Nicholas. The number of entries in the London Directory is sufficient proof of the early popularity of Robin. Birds, flowers, and weeds soon took possession of the name, the ruddock giving way to robin-redbreast so completely as to cause the earlier name to be forgotten.
'Now am I Robert, now Robin.'
Chaucer, R. R. 6337.
Dera Robins, Cambridgeshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
John Robin, Oxfordshire, ibid.

1606. Baptised — William, s. Arthur Robinsonne: St. Peter, Cornhill.
The "son of Robert" from Robin, a diminutive form of the name. The tenement of John Robynson in Irvine is mentioned in 1426 (Irvine I, p. 130), and another John Robynsone was bailie of Glasgow in 1477 (REG., p. 458). Andrew Robersoun witnessed the sale of a tenement in Arbroath in 1450 (RAA., II, 91). The name was common in Glasgow in the sixteenth century (Protocols). That Robin was early considered a diminutive of Robert is shown by an entry in 1483 (LCD., p. 195) where the same individual is referred to as Robyne of Hall and Robert of Hall.
= Robins, q.v.
(English) The son of little Rob, a pet form of Robert (fame, bright).
The son of Robin, or Robert.
From the Flemish, Robyns; a personal name.
Robinson. —Distributed all over England, except in the south - west, where it is either absent or extremely rare. Its great home is in the northern half of the country, the numbers rapidly diminishing as we approach the south of England. Northamptonshire may be characterised as the most advanced stronghold of the Robinsons on their way to the metropolis. Robson, which is, I suppose, a contraction of this name, is essentially a north of England name, being very numerous in Northumberland and county Durham, and extending in diminished numbers across the border into the shires of Roxburgh and Dumfries.
