About the name
Tove is Norse — from Tófa, a compression of Thorfrithr, "Thor's beauty" or "beautiful thunder" — worn by Moomin creator Tove Jansson, who built the gentlest world in children's literature out of Finnish storms.
Rare in America, beloved across Scandinavia (pop star Tove Lo re-exports it).
One soft syllable (TOO-veh). It pairs well with flowing middles (Tove Evangeline, Tove Marguerite). On our vibe map it is Soft & Dreamy with Mythological thunder in the basement and Cultural Fusion illustration plates.
