Toby
Toby means "Medieval form of Tobias (upstream Tobias meaning 'God is good')". It is read here through origin, sound, cultural story, numerology and symbolic element rather than popularity alone.
Ancient root and name story
Origin: a medieval form of Tobias. Meaning: the name descends from Tobias, a name of Hebrew origin traditionally understood as 'God is good', a sense carried by the parent name.
Toby was sometimes used as a feminine name in the 1930s and 1940s, influenced by American actress Toby Wing (1915-2001); this is a later usage note rather than part of the name's origin.
Today Toby is a friendly, classic boys' name, valued for its warm, easygoing sound and its long history as a form of Tobias.
