Toby

Stout figure vessel

Toby is a male given name, originally a diminutive of Tobias.

It suggests an approachable, friendly personality—more casual than the formal Tobias.

A toby jug is a ceramic pitcher shaped like a seated figure, typically a stout man in 18th-century dress.

In older British slang, the toby was the road or highway, surviving mainly in the phrase high toby (highway robbery).
