Tib was a unisex nickname in the 13th century, used as a short form of Theobald and Isabel. As Theobald waned in popularity, it became far more associated with girls, so much so that Tib was a term for young girls by the 16th century.
 
Now, of course, no such association exists, and Tib could be used on either sex.

Tib and Tibb originated in the 13th century as nicknames for Theobald (for boys) and Isabel and Isabella (for girls). As Isabel grew in popularity, Tib(b) was used more often on girls. By the 16th century, Tib was a term for a young girl, much like Tom was for young boys.
 
Tib was most commonly a nickname for Isabel, but it was also seen as a short form of Tabitha and Elizabeth. In the popular 1940s book series Betsy, Tacy, and Tib, Tib is a nickname for Thelma.
