Towe is Scandinavian in Origin.
Towe is a Scandinavian given name, especially Swedish (also found in Norway and Denmark), and a modern spelling variant of Tove/Tova. It derives from Old Norse Tófa, a short form of compound names beginning with Þór- (Thor) plus fríðr (“beautiful, beloved, peaceful”). The meaning is often interpreted as “beautiful/peaceful under Thor’s protection.” While it sometimes overlaps in perception with Hebrew Tova (“good”), the Towe spelling is distinctly Nordic in origin and usage.
Attested via medieval Tófa/Tófi and revived during the 19th–20th‑century Nordic name renewals, Towe rose in Sweden from the mid‑20th century and remains chiefly feminine today, though related forms have seen occasional unisex use. Variants and cognates include Tove, Tova, Tuva, Tófa, and the less common Tovi/Tovie; diminutive-style forms may appear as Tovi. Note that the English surname Towe is etymologically unrelated to the Scandinavian given name.
