Corbin
Boy name · 13 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Corbin: 13 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2008.
From the Latin *corvus*, meaning "crow," Corbin arrived in Scotland via the Norman French *corbin*—a name with a sharp, dark elegance. Its most famous bearers include actor Corbin Bleu, star of *High School Musical*, and Corbin Bernsen, known for *L.A. Law*. While no Scottish place directly shares the name, the root is echoed in the Corbin family seat in Northumberland. A habitational surname turned given name, Corbin also sometimes appears as Korbin, a modernised spelling that remains less common in Scotland. Its sleek, two-syllable sound and animal association give it a timeless, slightly brooding charm—fitting for parents wanting a name that feels both grounded and distinctive.
