Character-by-character breakdown
In Chinese, Tobias is written with 4 characters, each standing for one syllable of the sound: 托 (Tuō), 比 (bǐ), 亚 (yà), 斯 (sī). Each character here is a phonetic unit — picked for how it sounds, not for what it means — so read together they echo Tobias rather than spelling out a literal meaning.
