Meaning & Origin

plural of tabia

Tabias is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant of Tobias, meaning 'God is good' — from the Hebrew tov (good) and Yah (God/Yahweh), a name of divine goodness and faithfulness.

Tobias is the hero of the Book of Tobit, a deuterocanonical story of extraordinary faith, healing by the archangel Raphael, and faithful love. Tabias gives this biblical name a slightly different phonetic character that makes it feel fresh. With over 530 recorded U.S. births, it has genuine presence in Christian American communities who honor the Tobit heritage.

Today, Tabias is an active part of the American naming landscape (ranked #12130), continuing to accumulate its own cultural meaning with each new child who carries it.
