Do you mean the name Toby? It can be a name on its own, or it can be short for Tobias. Kate.

If you're searching for it on a computer system, you could try using ''TOB*'' which should pick up any names starting with TOB, if the system allows usual wildcards.. Christine

The name 'Tobe' could also be a female Polish name. I have a 'Tobe' who changed her name to Deborah + an English sounding surname (1901 census). Is yours male or female?
