Meaning & History
Tone 2 is a modern Norwegian feminine name. It is a newer form of Torny, which itself derives from the Old Norse name Þórný. The first element of this name comes from the Norse god Thor (Þórr), meaning "thunder", and the second element nýr means "new". Thus, the name can be interpreted as "new thunder" or "Thor's new one".
Tone has steadily gained usage in Norway, where it forms part of a broader tradition of names starting with Tor- or Ton-, celebrating the strength and power of the thunder god. Its cognate Tonje is a variant used in both Norway and Demark.
