Tove Linden
Tove is a Scandinavian given name that derives from the Old Norse name Tófa or from the Old Norse name Þórfríðr, which combines ''Thor'' with "fríðr". Origins Some believe the name to be a shortening of ''Þorfríðr'', whose elements are the deity-name Thor and Old Norse ''fríðr'' 'beautiful'. Tófa and Tófi appear to have been relatively popular names in the 10th and 11th centuries and are found in Anglo-Scandinavian court witness lists and later in the Domesday Book in their Latinised form. The personal name became a surname in medieval England, with spellings of Tovi, Tovie (16th century) and Tovey recorded in wills and church documents.
