Tobiasz is Hebrew, Latin in Origin.
Polish given name Tobiasz traces to Hebrew Toviyyah/Toviyahu, “Yahweh is good,” filtered through Greek Tōbias (Τωβίας) and Latin Tobias. The name is anchored in the Book of Tobit, where Tobias, son of Tobit, exemplifies filial piety, and it echoes the Hebrew Bible’s Tobiah figures. In Polish, the final -sz represents the “sh” sound, distinguishing it from pan‑European Tobias.
Used among Jews and adopted across Christian Europe via the Vulgate, the name spread in the Middle Ages and resurged in Reformation and Puritan circles. In Poland Tobiasz appears in medieval records, remained uncommon through the 19th–20th centuries, and has seen a modest modern revival. International variants include Tobias (German, Dutch, Scandinavian, English), Tobías (Spanish), Tobia (Italian), Tobie (French), and Tobija/Tobijas (Slavic and Baltic forms); Hebrew forms are Tobiyah/Toviyyah. Polish diminutives and nicknames include Tobi, Tobek, Tobik, and Tobiaszek; the surname Tobiasz also occurs in Poland.
