Bobie is of Hebrew origin, derived from the word 'bochur', meaning 'young man'. It is a variant spelling of Bobby, which itself is a diminutive of Robert. Bobie has been used as both a given name and a nickname throughout history, but it gained significant popularity in the late 20th century. Notable individuals with this name include American actor Bobbie Phillips and Canadian musician Bobbie Johnson.
The name Bobie had a peak popularity during the mid-1930s with over 15 births per year between 1933 and 1936. However, it seems to have been less common before the late 1920s and after the early 1940s, with fewer than 8 births recorded in most years since then.
