Not exactly a person who bears the name, but Kobe is also a place name in Japan, pronounced "Koe-Bay." Not sure if it means anything specific though.

Kobe also means "turtle" in Swahili.

Shortened form of Jakob. Can be a surname of Ashkenazi Jewish or Slovenian origin. Umlot goes over the "o."

Great. You wanted to name your son after a basketball player who got off on some serious rape charges!

Kobe, in Japanese, consists of two kanji: "Ko" (_), which means "god" and "Be" (ŒË), which means "door". So, its meaning could be: "door of god", "godly door", "door to god", and other similar interpretations.

I heartily endorse calling your son after a plate of beef. In fact, why not call your children after an entire menu?

I can't think of anything more tasteful ... or tasty!
