Thinking about the name
Toi
Japanese origin
“A short, punchy name with uncertain but likely Japanese or Vietnamese roots, Toi appeals through sheer sonic simplicity. The one-syllable construction gives it a modern, almost trendy quality—minimalist in the way of contemporary naming. It works as either a given name or a middle name, carrying an international, cosmopolitan feel.”
