ArchivesOrigin of this name...
Does anyone know the meaning/origin of the name Tove (m,f). It is commonly used in Scandinavian countries but I have been unable to locate its meaning. Can anyone help?

Tove is hebrew for "good" and is commonly used for both sexes.

For the love of Thor and Jehovah
According to one source (http://www.flick.com/onomastikon/Europe-Scandinavia/Sweden/Norse.htm) Tove is a pet name of Torvald, which is derived from the Old Norse (Rule of Thor).
Another version of Tove (f) is derived from Hebrew, means "good," and is related to names such as Tobias.
