Kerbasi is in Origin.
Kerbasi is a rare given name of Persian origin, from karbās ‘coarse cotton, muslin.’ The suffix -i means ‘of, from’ or marks association, so Kerbasi can suggest ‘of muslin/linen’ or, by extension, ‘cloth‑maker’ or ‘weaver.’ The textile term karbās also entered Arabic, Urdu, and Hindi with similar senses.
The name is attested mainly as a surname and occasional toponym in Iran, reflecting occupational or mercantile ties to textiles; only recently has it appeared as a unisex given name, especially in diaspora families seeking distinctive, heritage-rooted choices. Variant spellings include Karbasi, Kerbashi, Karbashi, and the clipped Kerbas. Usage remains very rare, with no established name day, yet it evokes craftsmanship, simplicity, and understated elegance.
Kerbasi does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
