Basket or wood-pigeon
The name Cobin is of uncertain origin, likely functioning as a modern variant of Corbin or a diminutive of Jacob. As a derivative of Corbin, it stems from the Latin 'corvus' meaning raven, though some English roots link it to 'cob' meaning a basket or a male swan. It is currently a rare choice in the United States, appealing to parents seeking a familiar but unique sound.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Cobin in 2025.
