Tola

Short and sweet, Tola is a gender-neutral name that can be a nickname for a variety of monikers. To start, it can be a Khmer variant of the Sanskrit word tula, meaning “October” and referring to the Libra constellation, which is usually interpreted as a pair of scales. Tola can also come from the Yoruba Tọ́lá, meaning “prominent for success,” and work as a Polish nickname for Antonina, possibly meaning “flower.” There may also be links to the Albanian nickname for Apostol, meaning “apostle,” and the towns of Tolla in Corsica, France, or Tola in Zamora, Spain. A moniker like this has got a lovely balance between charm and potential, giving little Tola plenty to work with in the future.
