Ibbi is Scandinavian in Origin.
Ibbi is an affectionate diminutive in English of Isabel/Isabella and Elizabeth, traced to Middle English nicknames Ib, Ibb, and Ibby; from Hebrew Elisheva meaning “God is my oath”/“pledged to God.” In Scandinavia, Ib (from Jakob/Jacob) gives Ibbi as a pet, yielding the meaning “supplanter.” In Hungarian, Ibi is used as a nickname, notably for Ibolya; the double‑b spelling is a modern stylistic choice.
The name appears in late-medieval English parish records and helped form surnames such as Ibbot, Ibbotson, Ibbison, and Ibbs. In modern use Ibbi remains uncommon and charmingly informal, most often feminine in the Anglophone world but comfortably unisex thanks to the Danish Ib route. Variants and spellings include Ibby, Ibbie, Ibi, Ibbey, and Ib; longer related forms are Isabella, Isabel, Elizabeth, and Jacob/Jakob.
Ibbi is rarely chosen. In all, it turns up just 52 times, across 18 countries.
