This name comes from an old nursey rhyme:
"Little Robin Redbreast
Sat upon a rail;
Niddle noble went his head,
Widdle waggle went his tail.
"Little Robin Redbreast
Came to visit me;
This is what he whistled,
Thank you for my tea."

For many, American Robins are often considered a harbinger of Spring.
