There are four Robins, the first of many being Dick Grayson. He and his parents "The Flying Graysons,"were circus acrobats for years in Haly's Circus until they were murdered by a gangster, known as Tony Zucco. Bruce Wayne than later adopted Dick Grayson, as he sympathized with the kid's situation given his own parents were both murdered as well. He took him in and taught him many of the same subjects he had learned in his youth, and finally asked him to take on the mantle of his sidekick. Dick Grayson came up with the name of "Robin,'' because his mother used to call him little robin as a child.

The name Robin is of English origin and is derived from the Old French name Robin, which is a diminutive form of Robert. It has been used as a given name since the medieval period and is commonly associated with the robin bird, known for its red breast.

How did robin hoods bay get its name?

There is no record of how Robin Hood's Bay got its name. There is a ballad, in which Robin Hood goes fishing, encounters French pirates who have robbed poor people along the coast, and gets them to surrender. In the ballad, he gives their loot to the people at Robin Hood's Bay. But, of course, we don't even know the origin of the Ballad.
