The surname Robins has an interesting history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name itself is derived from the given name "Robert," which originated from the Old Germanic name "Hrodebert," meaning "bright fame." This name was brought to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans in the 12th century.
During this time, Ireland underwent significant changes due to Norman influence and rule. Many Norman families settled in Ireland and adopted Irish surnames, leading to the blending of cultures and names. The surname Robins, therefore, became one of the many Norman surnames that assimilated into the Irish population.
Over the centuries, the Robins surname continued to spread throughout Ireland, particularly in areas where Norman influence was more prevalent. Some branches of the family even anglicized the name to "Robinson" or "Robson."
It is worth noting that the history of the Robins surname in Ireland is not limited to the Norman period. Irish families with the surname Robins also exist, particularly in Ulster, where the name may have originated from the Irish Gaelic surname "Ó Roibín," meaning "descendant of Roibín," a personal name of uncertain origin.
Today, the Robins surname is still present among those of Irish descent, serving as a reminder of the complex and rich history that encompasses the Irish people.
