If someone was born on May 21, the feast day of Saint Theobald, then they would be called Theobald in his honor, or perhaps the feminine form Theobalda. In everyday use, anyone named Theobald (or Theobalda) went by one of the pet forms of the name, such as Tib, Tibbe, Tibbett, Tibbot, Tibby, Tibot, Tibota, or Tippitt.
