Tobatí is a city in Tobatí District in the Cordillera Department, Paraguay.
== History == Tobati was founded in June 1539 by Domingo Martínez de Irala. Opinions vary as to the meaning of the town's name. One is from the Spanish definition of the word, referring to the rocky terrain, consisting largely of limestone. Another is that it is a portmanteau of the Guaraní language words "tova", meaning "face" and "tí", meaning "nose", or together - "nose on the face". A third option is that the name is a combination of the Guaraní words, tova, and morotí - referring to an indigenous legend of a white faced warrior priest who would come to lead the tribes into a glorious era.
