Meaning & Story
A variant spelling of Corbin, from the Old French 'corbeau' meaning raven or crow — a name with dark, sleek associations and the mystery of a bird that has always captured human imagination.
Korben has an edge to it — the K spelling gives it a sharper, more cinematic feel, and the raven association gives it depth. It also carries a Fifth Element connection for sci-fi fans, nodding to Korben Dallas, the iconic Bruce Willis character from the 1997 film. For a pet, it suits a dark-coated, sharp-eyed dog who moves with economy and purpose, who seems to be thinking several moves ahead at all times. Korben is intelligent, watchful, and quietly impressive.
