Meaning & History
Origin uncertain, possibly a variant of Tova 2, a feminine form of Tue or a short form of Perpetua. Alternatively it may be derived from Latin tua "yours" or Danish tue "small hill" (from Old Norse þúfa "mound, knoll", which coincides with the name Þúfa). In Sweden its earliest document use is 1835.
