Meaning & origin
Tonji is a rare modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1965. It reached its highest usage in 1967, but never ranked among the top 1000 names. The name has maintained a stable but very low level of use through the latest year of data. Its origins are uncertain, likely a respelling of Tonya or a creative variant of Toni. Because it never had notable geographic concentration, no top states are associated with Tonji. It remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon name.
Tonji first appeared in the United States in the 1960s, likely as a creative respelling of Tonya or a diminutive of names like Toni. It has seen sporadic use since, peaking in 1967. No clear linguistic derivation is attested.
