Tobyn

US Popularity Rank: 22493

Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: God is good

Tobyn is a cute respelling of Tobias, which means "God is good" in Hebrew. Alongside Toby, this boy's name is beloved by those looking to celebrate their Christian or Jewish faith. Tobit and his wife Sarah are described in the Old Testament as loyal believers; however, their faith is constantly tested. Their story has become a teaching moment about keeping faith during challenging times. You'll also find Tobyn and its other spellings in the pages of fantasy books. From Snape's father in the Harry Potter series to the hunky Four in Divergent, it remains a classic yet trendy choice.
