Rabee‘ al-Awwal
Rabee‘ al-Awwal is so called because they did not travel during that month (the word irtibaa‘, derived from the same root, means “not travelling”).
The plural form is Arbi‘aa’, like the word naseeb (pl. ansibaa’), or Arbu‘ah like the word ragheef (pl. arghufah).
The same may be said concerning Rabee‘ al-Aakhir as was said concerning Rabee‘ al-Awwal.
