Tobi is a short, friendly name with multiple roots. It is most commonly a modern, cross-cultural variant of Toby, which itself is an English form of Tobias, originating from the Hebrew name Toviyyah, meaning "God is good." Tobi shares this uplifting meaning. A notable bearer is Tobi Amusan, the Nigerian world champion hurdler. In Japan, Tobi is also a surname and a given name with a different meaning, often "kite" or "eagle." While there are no major places named after a Tobi, the name benefits from its cheerful, approachable sound that fits well in modern Scottish nurseries, where shorter, international names are increasingly popular.
