I found a post on WordReference asking the same question:
http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/tovara.2497212/
That's the only page I can find with regards to Tovara's meaning but I can't find the meaning on here, just guesses and explanations on what it could mean.
Just to be clear, when the OP said that her mother pronounces the name /tʌ vɑːr ə/, ʌ isn't in the IPA for Hebrew.
