Oby is a unique and uncommon name of Hebrew origin. It means "my heart" or "my love" in Hebrew. The name has been used in various forms throughout history, such as Obadiah, which was the name of a prophet in the Old Testament of the Bible. Despite its biblical roots, Oby has not gained widespread popularity as a given name for children. However, it is a beautiful and meaningful name that stands out due to its rarity and rich history.
Oby was quite popular in 1917 with five births that year. However, there was a notable gap of seven years before the name resurfaced again in 1924, with six more babies being named Oby. In total, over these two years, eleven children were given the name Oby.
