Tovia - is this male or female?
HelloIs the name Tovia male or female? I've found suggestions that it is either so I'm quite confused!Are there any other girls' names you could use to get the nickname Toby?Thanks :)

Tovia is a Hebrew name meaning "G-d is good". It is male (check Tobiah and Tuvya, since "b" and "v" are the same in Hebrew).
Tovia isn't a form of Tova to me, because Tova is a word name (like, for example, Diamend or Diamiond wouldn't be a form of Diamond). http://www.hebrewletters.com/item.cfm?itemid=3477

You are correcthttp://www.behindthename.com/Type in your name in the search box, and either hit the return key or press the search button.If your name isn't in the database, the database will normally give you a list of similar names to choose from. Sometimes a name is spelled so different from any of the names in the database that the software can't find any similar names.If you can't find your name, or the equivalent of it (remember that Micaylah, for example, is the same in meaning as Michaela), then come here and post a message describing your question. Be sure to include as much detail as you can. That way, it'll be easier for us to help you.Miranda

Looks like a variant of Tovah - and then it's female.
