Tofa (Poetic Edda)

Tófa (Tófu) is the wife of Angantyr and mother of Hervor in Norse mythology. She is mentioned only once in Hervararkviða, part of the Tyrfing Cycle of Old Norse legends.

Tófu is mentioned only once, in the legendary saga of Hervor's Waking of Angantyr: [1]

The name is a shortened form of Thorfrithr, meaning "beautiful Thor" or "peace of Thor".[2][3][4]
