Bobey is in Origin.

Bobey is a modern respelling of Bobby/Bobbie, the long-standing pet form of Robert (and, less commonly, Roberta). Robert derives from the Old High German Hrodebert, composed of hrod “fame” and beraht “bright,” yielding the meaning “bright fame.” Brought to England by the Normans, Robert became a staple of medieval naming. The rhyming nickname Bob, from Rob, took hold in Middle English, with Bobby emerging later as an affectionate diminutive that gained widespread popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries across the English-speaking world.

Bobey remains rare in records and reads as a contemporary, distinctive twist on a classic nickname. It is used both independently and as an informal short form for Robert or Roberta, making it broadly unisex though typically skewing masculine. Close variants and related forms include Bobby, Bobbie, Bobbi, Bob, Robby, Robbie, Rob, Robert, Roberta, and Roberto.
