Libbie Origin and Meaning

The name Libbie is a girl's name.

Libbie is a charming feminine name that originated as a diminutive of Elizabeth, which has Hebrew roots meaning 'God is my oath' or 'pledged to God.' This sweet, playful variation emerged in the 19th century when nickname forms became popular as given names. Libbie offers a more casual, approachable alternative to the formal Elizabeth while maintaining its rich historical connections. The name saw modest popularity in America during the late 1800s and early 1900s but remains relatively uncommon today, giving it a distinctive vintage charm. With its cheerful sound and friendly vibe, Libbie conveys warmth and approachability while still connecting to the revered history of its parent name.
