Please be careful to start your own thread in the future instead of introducing a new question into someone else's thread.According to Latoya Jackson's autobiography, her mother simply invented this name. It was very common in the African-American community in the 1970s and 1980s for new names to be created starting with the syllable La-. Ms. Jackson's mother hasn't given any further information on how she created the name. Toya is possibly a shortening of Tonya, but Toya has also been used as a pet form of Victoria and Custodia in the Mexican-American community.

I do not know how reliable http://cleo.lcs.psu.edu/boy_names.html is, but they have all external indications of being trustworthy. Note also that there may be an old English farnham, which in many pronounciations would sound very similar.
According to the site farnam is the masculine version, and farinam is the feminine one. Both of them are given the meaning `glorious+name'. Both the grammatical structure and the meaning sound familiar, though I know next to no Farsi.
