The surname Robyns or Robbins has an interesting history, particularly in relation to its Irish descent. The name derives from the given name Robin, which itself is a diminutive of the name Robert. The name Robert is of Germanic origin and was introduced to England and Ireland by the Normans in the 11th century.
In Ireland, the surname Robyns or Robbins is primarily associated with County Kilkenny. It is believed that the name was brought to Ireland by Anglo-Norman settlers who arrived during the Norman invasion in the 12th century. These settlers, known as the "Old English," often adopted Gaelic customs and intermarried with the native Irish population.
Over time, the surname Robyns or Robbins became anglicized, with variations such as Robins and Robertson appearing. Many Irish families with this surname can trace their ancestry back to County Kilkenny, where they were prominent landowners and members of the local gentry.
Today, the surname Robyns or Robbins is not as common in Ireland as it once was, but descendants of those original settlers can still be found both in Ireland and across the world, particularly in countries with large Irish diaspora populations such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
