History & Origin
Toi is a short modern American name whose roots are not documented. The likeliest reading is a pet form pulled from the popular Toya and LaToya sound family of the period, clipped down to a single bright syllable; it may equally be an independent coinage. Rather than invent a heritage for it, we mark it honestly as coined.
Toi appeared as a given name through the mid-twentieth century and reached a small high around 1974 before fading. A girl named Toi then is now in her fifties. Its brevity gives it a certain modern crispness, but it stayed rare throughout and shows no sign of a revival.
