Corban is Hebrew in Origin.
Rooted in the Hebrew korban (קָרְבָּן), Corban means “offering,” “devoted gift,” or “that which brings one near,” from the verb q-r-b, “to draw near.” The term appears throughout Leviticus for temple offerings and is preserved in the New Testament (Mark 7:11) as “Corban,” a transliteration highlighting a gift dedicated to God. This gives the name a strong spiritual resonance tied to dedication and worship.
As a personal name, Corban is a modern adoption in English-speaking countries, gaining modest use from the late 20th century and peaking in the early 2000s. It is typically masculine but occasionally used unisex. Variants and related spellings include Korban (closest to Hebrew), Korben (modern respelling), and less commonly Corben. Note that Corbin is a distinct name of French origin meaning “raven,” though often confused with Corban. Cross-linguistic cognates include Qurban, Gurban, and Ghorban.
