Cobie Origin and Meaning
The name Cobie is a boy's name.
Cobie is a masculine name with multiple possible origins. It could be a diminutive of Jacob (meaning "supplanter"), a variant of Coby (possibly derived from the Hebrew name Yaakov), or a nickname for names like Jacobus or James. Some sources suggest it may also have Dutch or Frisian roots. As a standalone name, Cobie remains relatively uncommon in most English-speaking countries, giving it a distinctive quality. The name gained some recognition through actress Cobie Smulders, though for her it's feminine.
