Tib Origin and Meaning
The name Tib is a boy's name meaning "courageous people".
Tib was a unisex nickname in the 13th century, used as a short form of Theobald and Isabel. As Theobald waned in popularity, it became far more associated with girls, so much so that Tib was a term for young girls by the 16th century.
Now, of course, no such association exists, and Tib could be used on either sex.
