Coobah is a rare modern given name with uncertain etymology.

Some also hear it as a playful phonetic cousin of Cuba/Kuba or as a fresh twist on surnames like Cooper, giving it a bright, percussive sound.

Usage is contemporary and sporadic, appearing in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century onward, commonly as a unisex choice.
