Rubin

Meaning of Rubin

Rubin traces back to the Hebrew name Reuben, meaning “behold, a son,” and later entered German and Yiddish usage as Rubin. Its Latin root, rubinus, ties it to the ruby gemstone revered in Roman and Latin American cultures. This blend of biblical tradition and gemstone symbolism conveys vitality, protection and enduring worth. In the United States, Rubin remains rare—hovering near the 900th rank with about a dozen annual births—making it a concise, culturally layered choice that resonates across scriptural, European and Latin legacies.
