Tib. English. For a period of time during the 1200s in England, the traditionally masculine name Theobald came to be widely used as a neutral name.

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. These many variants helped distinguish between different people who shared the same popular name. By 1300, Tib and its variants had become strictly feminine.
