Meaning & History

Obi-Wan Kenobi is a character in the 'Star Wars' universe, created by George Lucas. The meaning of the name is not known, but as Lucas was very much influenced by Japanese samurai movies, it is possible that the name is a combination of Japanese 帯 (obi) "belt" (used to tie a kimono) and wan that sounds like the Japanese honorific suffix san.
