Good or pleasing
Derived from the Hebrew word 'tov', this name directly translates to 'good'. It has long been a staple in Jewish communities, often chosen for its positive and virtuous connotations. While ancient in origin, it feels fresh to modern ears due to its soft vowel sounds and similarity to other popular names like Nova.
