Definition:
The English variation is Robeson meaning son of Robbin. The Jewish variation is Robison which was derived from the Polish word "rabin," meaning rabbi (Chester & Robb, p.556). The Scottish definition has not yet been found. The Normans brought the French given name Robert to England at the time of the Conquest. It means 'fame, bright' and was derived from the Old German Hrodebert. Rob, Hob, and Dob were pet forms of the name, and from Rob a number of surnames were derived -- including the English Patronymic name Robinson, Roberts and Robertson. Other versions are Robart (English); Robard, Rebert, Rospars (French); Ropartz (Brittany), Flobert, Flaubert (also French from a variation), Robbert, Rubbert, Ropert, Ruppert (Low German). Cognates include Roubert, Roubeix (Provencal); Roberti, Roberto, Ruberti, Ruberto, Ruperto, Luberti, Luberto Luparti, Luparto (Italian); Roberto (Portuguese); Rupprecht, Rupprecht, Rauprich (German); and Robberecht (Flemish).
