Jobi is Hebrew in Origin.
Jobi is a modern English given name, most often a spelling variant of Joby, a diminutive that grew from the biblical names Job and Joseph. From Job (Hebrew Iyov), its sense is traditionally linked to “afflicted/persecuted” or “one who is tested,” though the exact etymology is debated; from Joseph (Hebrew Yosef), it carries the meaning “He will add, increase.” Diminutive forms and close variants include Joby, Jobie, Jobey, and Jobe.
Use of Jobi/Joby appears in English records as a familiar byname in the 19th and early 20th centuries, gradually gaining currency as a standalone given name in recent decades. It remains uncommon and can be considered unisex in contemporary usage. While chiefly found in the Anglophone world, the surname Jobi also appears in West Africa, occasionally informing given-name choices. The brisk, upbeat sound makes Jobi a modern-feeling take on weighty biblical roots.
