Comments for the name Corbin

Corbin is a variation of the Hebrew Korban, which means a gift to or devoted to God.

I hope it isn't from the Hebrew Korban - that would make an awful name, it means sacrifice to God or victim.

Corbin Dallas, played by Bruce Willis, is the leading male character in the movie "The Fifth Element."

Bruce Willis' character's name in The Fifth Element was actually spelled Korben rather than Corbin.

Somebody semi-famous is Corbin Bleu star of High School Musical, Catch That Kid, Flight 29 Down, and many more to come.

Actor Corbin Bernsen was nominated for 2 Golden Globes for his role on LA Law. More recently, he has had recurring roles on JAG and Psych.

The name Corbin is a great name. I would one day use it myself, except I know a Corbin who I just short of hate, so I would never use it. It is for someone else a wonderful name! It is uncommon and nice to hear now and again. It is a good choice!

Actually, "Corban" is mentioned in the Bible (Mark 7:11) as being a "gift to God", in reference to money, not a blood sacrifice, although I suppose that is a possibility as well. In any case, if you are a Christian, the name could have a wonderful meaning.

Corbin Bleu, Disney channel star of High School Musical and Jump In, is obviously a famous bearer of this name.

Sounds like a combo of Corey and Kevin. I would like it just for the sound, except it reminds me too much of Hollywood; and I always think of the name as character out of a Sci-Fi flick. That gives it an element of the ridiculous.

Colonel Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken is from CORBIN, Kentucky. Pronounced cor-bin, exactly as it looks.

Rather than be derived from a French surname, this name could also be derived from Corbinien, which is the French form of Corbinianus (see Korbinian in the database). Given that there is a saint with this name, it is not impossible that there were people named after the saint in France, and quickly had the cumbersome name shortened to Corbin.
