Cobie, pronounced /ˈkoʊbi/, is an uncommon unisex given name of Irish origin. It is derived from the Irish surname Ó Cobhthaigh, which is in turn derived from the Old Norse personal name Kúfi, meaning 'cupbearer'. The name was brought to Ireland by Viking settlers and later adapted into its current form. While not widely used today, Cobie remains a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
"The name Cobie saw a significant rise in popularity between 1997 and 2002, with a notable peak of 37 births in 2001. However, it has since declined, with the most recent years showing fewer than 15 births annually."
