Thunder or beautiful
A Scandinavian name derived from the Old Norse name Tófa, which is a diminutive of names starting with Thor, the god of thunder. It also carries connotations of beauty in its shorter form. It is a sleek, minimalist choice that remains rare in the United States while being a staple in Sweden and Norway.
