Bobbi

Bobbi is an English feminine given name that originated as a diminutive or pet form of Roberta, itself the feminine equivalent of Robert. Robert derives from the Old High German name Hrodebert, composed of the elements hrod, meaning fame, and beraht, meaning bright. Bobbi gained independent use as a given name, particularly in the United States during the twentieth century, and is sometimes spelled Bobby when used for girls. Roberta, Bobbie, and Robin are closely related forms sharing the same Germanic root.
