Tofa (Poetic Edda)

Tófa (Tófu) is the wife of Angantyr and mother of Hervor in Norse Mythology. She is mentioned in Hervararkviða, a poem from the Poetic Edda, part of the Tyrfing Cycle of Old Norse legends.

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

Vaki, Angantýr! || vekr þik Hervǫr,
eingadóttir || ykkr Tófu!

Awaken, Angantyr! It is Hervor who awakens you,
your only daughter by Tófa!

The name Tófa/Tófu is a shortened form of Thorfrithr, meaning "beautiful Thor" or "peace of Thor."
