Garbi is Basque in Origin.

Garbi is a Basque given name derived from the everyday adjective garbi, meaning “clean, pure, immaculate.” Used as a succinct virtue name, it appears for both sexes, though more often feminine, and conveys ideas of clarity, sincerity, and moral purity. The elaborated Basque feminine form Garbiñe pairs the root with the -ñe suffix and is well established.

As a given name, Garbi has seen modest use in the Basque Country since the late 20th‑century revival of indigenous names, while remaining rare elsewhere. Resonant forms occur nearby: Catalan Garbí (with accent) names the warm southwesterly Mediterranean wind, itself from Arabic gharbī “western,” and sometimes inspires modern Catalan naming. Related variants and spellings include Garbiñe (feminine), Garbí (Catalan), and the Arabic transliteration Gharbi (more common as a surname). Overall meaning centers on “pure/clean” in Basque, with a secondary “western wind” association in Catalan.
