Robb is Germanic in Origin.
Robb is an English given name and surname, a variant of Rob, the familiar short form of Robert. Robert comes from Old High German Hrodebert (hrōd “fame” + beraht “bright”), brought to England by the Normans and long embedded across Britain. The double‑b spelling is a modern stylistic choice that distinguishes it from Rob while preserving the same sense: “bright fame.”
As a standalone first name, Robb saw modest use in the later 20th century in the US and UK, but remains rarer than Rob or Robbie; in Scotland it is also a common surname. Related diminutives and variants include Rob, Robbie/Robby, Bob/Bobby, and the Scots Rab/Rabbie, with the wider family spanning Robert, Robin, Rupert, and Roberto, plus Gaelic Raibeart (Scottish) and Roibeárd (Irish). Feminine counterparts are Roberta and, by extension, Robyn. Contemporary recognition has been boosted by Robb Stark of A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones.
