Robb — boys' name

What the Data Says About Robb

The Social Security Administration has registered 3,190 babies named Robb between 1917 and 2020, spanning 104 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Robb currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2020. The name reached its historical peak in 1970, when 246 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Robb performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 1,117 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Robb shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 284 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Minnesota and Michigan. In total, SSA state-level files list Robb in 22 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Robb in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 3,190 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
