Gobán Name meanings & History

"little smith" or "skillful with his hands". From Old Irish Gobbán, derived from gobae "smith" and a diminutive suffix. It could also be a derivative of the name of the Irish smith god Goibniu (from the same root). This was the name of a few early saints, such as a 7th-century abbot of Killamery. In later folklore, the smith god and the saints seem to have conflated into the legendary figure Gobán Saor ("Gobán the builder"), a master architect and builder of churches. The name Gobán is predominantly used in Ireland and among Irish diaspora communities around the world. It is a traditional Irish name that has been passed down through the generations, and is still used today by parents who appreciate its cultural significance and unique sound.
