Robbi

Boy name · 9 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Robbi: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1998.

Robbi is a modern variation of Robbie, itself a diminutive of Robert, a name with Germanic roots from *Hrodebert* meaning “bright fame.” While less common in Scotland than Robbie, it carries the same friendly, strong heritage. Notable bearers include American actress Robbi Chong, known for *The Last Emperor*, and English author Robbi Smith, who wrote historical romances. The name has no direct place namesakes, though Robert lends its fame to places like St. Robert in Missouri and numerous Robert Burns sites in Scotland. Interestingly, Robbi also appears as a feminine form in some contexts, making it a genuinely unisex choice, distinct from the more traditionally male Robbie yet sharing its warm, approachable spirit.
