Word Origin & History

robin 
common European songbird, 1549, shortening of Robin Redbreast (c.1450), from O.Fr. Robin, personal name, dim. of Robert (q.v.). As a bird name, it ousted the native ruddock, which is related to red. In N.Amer., the name was applied to the red-breasted thrush by 1703. Robin's egg as a shade of blue is attested from 1881. Robin Goodfellow "sportive elf of the English countryside," is first attested 1531, popular 16-17c.; Robin Hood is at least from 1377.
