Robby

Robby is an English diminutive of Robert, a name of Old High German origin composed of the elements hrod, meaning fame, and beraht, meaning bright. Robert was introduced to England by the Normans and became enormously popular throughout medieval Europe, borne by three kings of Scotland as well as countless nobles and churchmen. Robby functions as both a standalone given name and a childhood nickname, sitting alongside parallel short forms such as Rob, Bob, Bobby, and Robin.
