Coby is Hebrew in Origin.
Coby is a compact pet form of the Hebrew name Jacob (Hebrew Ya'aqov) via the Dutch or Afrikaans Jacobus or Jacoba, and by extension the English Jacoby. The underlying Hebrew root evokes "heel-holder" and, by idiom, "supplanter," from the Genesis story of Jacob grasping Esau's heel. In the Netherlands it developed as a familiar diminutive (often spelled Coby, Koby, Cobie, or Kobie), and in Israeli Hebrew the cognate Kobi is common. Today the name is broadly unisex, though distribution varies by region.
As an independent given name, Coby has seen steady use in English since the mid-20th century, sometimes boosted by the popularity of Jacob and by athletes and entertainers bearing the name. It is occasionally confused with Colby, which has distinct Old Norse roots ("Koli's farmstead"). Related or variant forms include Koby, Kobe, Cobi, Cobie/Kobie, and the surname-derived Jacoby.
