Ringbalin is an Aboriginal Australian name rooted in languages of the Murray-Darling Basin, where the word is used for a communal dance and songline performed along the river. Within cultural revival movements, Ringbalin refers to a ceremony of dance, song, and prayer to heal Country and call back water; as a personal name it carries the sense of "river dance/ceremony" and a commitment to caring for land and waterways.

As a given name, Ringbalin is rare and largely contemporary, appearing in Australia in the early 21st century alongside renewed public knowledge of the Ringbalin ceremony and the documentary River Stories. Usage is gender-neutral. Spelling is generally stable, though some write Ring-balin; informal nicknames include Rin and Balin. Because Aboriginal languages are diverse, specific etymologies differ by community, but the overarching meaning centers on ceremony, connection to the river, and cultural continuity.
