Which Wikipedia article confirms what you think you know? Is it the one listed below?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobert (in English)

That said, I strongly doubt that Jobert is a variant of Job. Any French masculine name ending in -bert is usually fully of Germanic origin. In rare cases, such a name is only partially of Germanic origin - like with Floribert.

A quick search through the available sources indicates that Jobert is a variant spelling of Jaubert (also found written as Joubert), which is a medieval French masculine name. It is no longer in use and only survives as a patronymic surname.

Jaubert comes from the Germanic compound name Gautbert. An other French form of the name is Gaubert.
