Warrior, hero, or brave person
In Maori and other Polynesian languages, Toa is a direct word for a warrior or a person of great courage. It is also found in Old Norse contexts as a diminutive of names containing the element 'Thor', though the Pacific origin is the primary source for the modern name.
