Meaning and background

The story behind Tova

Tova is an established Hebrew feminine given name, written טוֹבָה, with the meaning 'good'. Both an edited naming reference and a Hebrew morphological dictionary support that interpretation. The Hebrew name is distinct from a similarly spelt Scandinavian usage, so this research does not assume every Tova in the catalogue has the same personal background. Its meaning is grounded in Hebrew rather than a loose association.

Meaning
Hebrew feminine name טוֹבָה, meaning “good”. Source
