What is the meaning of the name Jobin ?

The baby name Jobin is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced JOH-bin (IPA: /ˈdʒoʊbɪn/).

Jobin is Hebrew in Origin.

Jobin is a masculine given name and French surname formed from Job + -in, a common Old French diminutive/patronymic suffix meaning “little/son of.” Job comes from Hebrew Iyov, usually interpreted as “afflicted, persecuted,” and the name carries the biblical association of endurance through suffering.

As a family name, Jobin appears in medieval French records and became well established in French Canada; it remains familiar in Quebec through figures such as the tenor Raoul Jobin. As a given name, Jobin sees modern use, notably among Indian Christians (especially in Kerala), where biblical bases plus -in are popular. Related forms include Job and Jobe in English, Joby as a nickname, Jób (Hungarian), Hiob (German/Polish), Giobbe (Italian), and Iov/Iyov in Slavic and Hebrew. The meaning centers on steadfastness and patience under trial.
