Bobby

Bobby is a name with American origins and it is traditionally given to boys. It was originally used as a diminutive or a nickname for the name Robert but is now used as a name on its own. Robert is derived from the German name Hrodberht. Hrodberht is made up of the elements ‘hrod’, which means ‘popularity, ‘fame’ or 'glory' and ‘berht’, meaning ‘shining’, ‘bright’ or ‘radiant’. The meaning of Bobby, therefore, is ‘bright glory’ or 'radiating with fame’. South Korean rapper Bobby and American politicians Bobby Rush and Bobby Jindal are just some of the famous Bobbys from around the world.

Even the most autonomous 1s need the support of their friends, family, and lovers.
