Definition
A masculine given name of Hebrew origin meaning 'God is good'. Also the name of a biblical figure in the Book of Tobit.
Etymology
From Hebrew Toviyah, composed of 'tov' (good) and 'Yah' (God). The name entered European languages through Greek and Latin translations of biblical texts, becoming popular in Christian communities.
Kelly Says
Tobias carries one of the most optimistic meanings of any biblical name, literally declaring divine goodness. Interestingly, it's enjoyed cyclical popularity - common in medieval times, rare in the 20th century, and resurging in contemporary naming trends across multiple cultures.
