Ibbie Origin and Meaning

The name Ibbie is a girl's name.

Ibbie is a feminine name generally considered a diminutive form of Isabel, Isabella, or Elizabeth. These parent names have Hebrew origins meaning 'pledged to God' or 'God is my oath.' Ibbie emerged as an affectionate nickname during the Victorian era when abbreviated forms of longer names became fashionable. While never achieving widespread popularity, Ibbie had modest usage in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the United States and England. The name conveys a vintage charm with its double-consonant structure and diminutive '-ie' ending. In contemporary usage, Ibbie remains uncommon, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking a vintage name with historical connections but relative uniqueness.
