From a French surname which was derived from corbeau "raven", originally denoting a person who had dark hair. The name was probably popularized in America by actor Corbin Bernsen (1954-). Corbin is an English name but derives from the Old French words “corbin” or “corbun” both of which mean "raven". It could have started out as a nickname for a person who had jet black and unusually glossy hair.
