Meaning and background
The story behind Libbi
Libbi can be understood as an alternative spelling of the familiar English nickname Libby, which has medieval links to Ibb and Isabel and is also used for Elizabeth. There is a complication: a separate, user-submitted Old Norse masculine Libbi has an unknown etymology. Because the spelling crosses those traditions, it should not be assigned one definitive meaning without context.
