The name Corben is a modern variant of Corbin, which ultimately stems from the Norman French *corbin*, meaning "crow" or "raven," often given as a nickname for someone with dark hair or a solemn appearance. In recent decades, it has been used as a distinct first name in its own right. A notable figure is Corben Bernsen, the actor best known for his role as Arnie Becker in the television series *L.A. Law*, while the name also appears in pop culture via the character Corben in the film *Strange Days*. There are no major place connections directly tied to Corben, though the related surname Corbin appears in place names across the English-speaking world. Notably, Corben shares its "raven" meaning with the more traditional Scottish name Bran, making it a sleek, modern alternative with ancient roots.
