Tobi also known as Touba is the fifth month of the Coptic calendar. It lies
between January 9 and February 7 of the Gregorian calendar. The month of
Tobi is also the first month of the Season of 'Proyet' (Growth) in Ancient
Egypt, where the Nile floods recede and the crops start to grow throughout
the land of Egypt. The name of the month of Tobi comes from Amso Khem, a
form of the Ancient Egyptian God Amun Ra. The Hebrew word tobi means
'goodness'.
