Tob was the name of a place in ancient Israel, mentioned in the Bible. It is said to be the land to which Jephtha fled from his brothers. The location is not definitely known, but some identify it with the region centering on Taibiyah, southeast of Sea of Galilee. Since the suffix -iYa means mine, Taibeyah means basically: My Tob or Our Tob or Me (of) Tob or us, We of Tob. In Tob, Jephtha gathered some men until his brothers wanted him back to fight against the Ammonites. The place may be the same as the one mentioned in 2 Samuel 10:6-8, named Ishtob. Some believe it should be translated men of Tob, rather than Ishtob.
Josephine Bowser Lillie was among Native Americans granted an 80-acre (320,000 m2) allotment of land within the Yakama Reservation. Of mixed Native American/European ancestry and Yakama identification, she is known as The Mother of Toppenish.. She platted the north 40 acres (160,000 m2) of her land. These tracts became the first deeded land to be sold on the Yakama Nation Reservation. The town is generally called TáºÃ¡pniÅ¡ in the Sahaptin language of the Yakama. This is the likely source of the name Toppenish. The word means âprotruded, stuck outâ and recalls a landslide that occurred on the ridge south of White Swan, Washington.
