Jobe
Meaning of Jobe
Jobe is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, a variant of Job (from the Hebrew Iyyov), the Old Testament figure renowned for patient endurance. In Anglo-American usage it also appears as a surname-turned-forename, lending a subtle twist to its biblical roots. Although its literal meaning—commonly rendered as “persecuted one”—can sound austere, contemporary bearers evoke qualities of resilience and moral steadiness. In the United States, Jobe remains uncommon yet persistent: in 2024 it was bestowed on twelve newborns (ranked 912th), a pattern of rare but steady appeal that suggests some parents value its distinctive spelling as much as its storied background.
