Meaning & Origin
A diminutive of the female given name Roberta.
Bobbi is a girl's and boy's baby name of German origin, a feminine diminutive of Robert, from the Old High German Hrodebert, meaning 'bright fame.' The -i spelling feminizes what was originally a male nickname, creating a name with an easy, cheerful confidence.
With over 24,000 U.S. births, Bobbi had its heyday in the mid-20th century and carries a retro Americana charm. It is the kind of name that belongs to someone fun, capable, and completely unpretentious.
