LaToya "Toya" Martin (born LaToya Rodriguez), better known by her mononym, Toya, is an American R&B singer from St. Louis, Missouri, best known for her 2001 song, "I Do!", which reached number 16 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
“Toya” (not to be confused with “Touya,” which has a completely different spelling and pronunciation) although rare, is used as a boy’s name or surname in Japan. It combines the kanji for “constellation” (斗) and “arrow” (矢).

Toya is one of the nicknames for Victoria. Toya and Victoria are Latin names. My first name is Victoria. Toya is the name that Latoya came from.
My first name is Toya. I read up and found that it means; short or to the point, described as a straight-shooter. I've most identified with this meaning. I am abrupt; yet sincere.
I love my name. I feel good about my name. It tells a whole lot of stuff. To me I think my name has a lot of confidence, loyalty, bravery, kindness and a good personality.
