Tobie

Tobie as a feminine name is a variant of Toby, which itself originated as a diminutive of Tobias. The name derives from the Hebrew name Toviyah (טוביה), meaning 'God is good.' While Tobie is traditionally more common as a masculine name in many cultures, its spelling with an '-ie' ending has made it an option for girls in some regions. This spelling variation gives the name a softer, more feminine appearance while maintaining its historical roots. Tobie is uncommon for girls in most English-speaking countries, making it a distinctive choice. The name has a friendly, approachable quality with its two syllables (TOH-bee) and offers the appealing combination of being recognizable yet rare for females.

Pronounced TOH-bee.
