Robyn

Robyn is an English given name, an altered spelling of Robin, which itself originated as a medieval diminutive of Robert. Robert derives from the Old High German elements hrod, meaning fame, and beraht, meaning bright. Robin was long used for both sexes in English-speaking countries, and the spelling Robyn became established primarily as a feminine form during the twentieth century. Related forms include Robbie, Robina, and the masculine Robert.
