Tiobóid

Tiobóid is an Irish Gaelic form of the Germanic name Theobald, which combines the elements "theud" (people) and "bald" (bold), meaning "bold people" or "brave people." This distinctively Irish variant emerged during medieval times when Norman names were adapted into Gaelic. Tiobóid (pronounced approximately as "TEE-uh-bohd") has remained primarily within Ireland, particularly in traditional Irish-speaking regions. While never extremely common, it represents an important part of Irish naming heritage. The name saw declining usage through the 20th century but has experienced some renewed interest among families seeking to preserve authentic Irish cultural connections and language traditions.

Pronounced chee-uh-BODE.
