Sorry, here's my answer in Swedish...

OK, sorry. Tove was originally a boys' name in Scandinavia. It is now, as far as I know, only used by women. It's probably derived from Thor (the god of thunder), but there seem to be theories of a connotation with the word "dove" (duva in Swedish), which I've read is derived from the Greek "taube" - but I don't speak Greek, so I might be wrong.
