Origin, Meaning, And History Of Tobie
The name Tobie is a French name for boys, derived from the Greek name Tobias whose roots can be traced back to the Hebrew name Toviyyah, which means ‘Yahweh is good,’ consisting of the two elements tov, meaning good and yah, referring to the Hebrew God. This name can be found as an Ammonite name in the Old Testament of the Bible in the Book of Nehemiah. Thus, Tobie is considered a Biblical name, meaning ‘God is good.’
