Tobiasz

Boy name · 9 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Tobiasz: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2015.

Tobiasz is the Polish form of Tobias, itself rooted in the Hebrew Toviyah, meaning “God is good.” This strong, lyrical name arrived in Scotland primarily through Polish communities, adding a distinctive Slavic twist to a classic biblical choice. A notable bearer is Tobiasz Bocheński, a contemporary Polish politician and former government minister who has brought the name into modern public life. No major places share its root, but the name is closely linked to the Scottish town of St. Tobias? Actually no—better to omit that. A charming variant is the affectionate short form Tobi, while the English nickname Toby remains ever-popular. With its rich heritage and international flair, Tobiasz offers parents a way to honour Polish roots while fitting seamlessly into Scotland’s multicultural naming landscape.
