Perbyn is in Origin.

Perbyn is a modern English given name built on the medieval French diminutive Perrin (from Pierre < Latin Petrus < Greek Petros “stone, rock”), recast with the -yn ending familiar from Welsh-influenced name patterns (as in Robyn or Berwyn). The result reads as a brisk, gender-neutral choice whose core meaning remains “rock; steadfast.” Through the Perrin/Peter lineage, it carries associations of reliability and grounded strength. While Perrin and its relatives were well used across medieval France and later in Britain, Perbyn itself is scarcely found in historical records and emerges in contemporary use from the late 20th to early 21st century, especially in English-speaking countries seeking fresh spins on traditional roots. Related forms and variants include Perrin, Perin, Perry, Peran/Piran (Cornish), and creative spellings such as Perbynne. Possible nicknames are Per, Perry, and Rin.
