What is the meaning of the name Tovah ?

The baby name Tovah is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TOH-vah.

Tovah is Hebrew in Origin.

Tovah is an English transliteration of Hebrew טוֹבָה, vocalized ṭōḇāh in Biblical Hebrew. The word is the feminine singular form of טוֹב, ṭōḇ, an adjective meaning good, pleasant, or beneficial, built on the Semitic root ṭ-w-b associated with goodness and well-being. As a name, it preserves the feminine ending -āh, represented in English either as -a or -ah.

As a given name, Tovah belongs chiefly to Jewish and Hebrew-speaking naming practice, with Tova the more common modern transliteration in Israel and many English-language records. The spelling Tovah reflects a fuller representation of the final Hebrew letter he. In the United States it remains outside the top 1000, though actress Tovah Feldshuh has made the form familiar in theater and film contexts.
