Toben is English in Origin.

Toben is a modern given name with multiple roots. In English it most often functions as a contemporary variant of Toby/Tobin, ultimately from Hebrew Tobias/Tobiah (Toviyyah), meaning “Yahweh is good.” It can also reflect Irish surname–firstname traditions through Tobin, itself from the Norman de St. Aubyn family that settled in medieval Ireland. In West Africa, Toben may be interpreted as a clipped form of the Igbo name Tobenna (“praise the Father/God”), yielding a related sense of devotion.

Records show sparse given-name use from the late 20th century in the United States, Britain, and Australia, with steady though rare adoption alongside surname-style choices. Variants and related forms include Tobe, Toby, Tobey, Tobie, Tobin, Tobiah, Tobias, and Igbo Tobenna; feminine adaptations like Tobi or Toby also occur. Typically pronounced TOH-ben, the name offers a succinct, upbeat alternative to the classic Tobias.
