In recent years, it has been used as a shortened version of the name [Liberty](/source/Liberty_(disambiguation)). It's also approximates "my heart" in Hebrew, and is a common Jewish given name as well as surname, in this case often a diminutive of Leibowitz. It became popular in Israel due to a character in a series of novels for young teenagers by author Hadas Leibowitz and due to its use in the Israeli song ''Achoti Haktana'' or ''My Little Sister''.{{cite web | url=https://www.kveller.com/the-20-most-popular-jewish-baby-names-in-israel/ | title=The 20 Most Popular Jewish Baby Names in Israel | date=19 September 2023 }} As a [surname](/source/surname), it can also be spelled[Libbey](/source/Libbey_(disambiguation)).
