Tuscany Origin and Meaning

The name Tuscany is a girl's name meaning "tower".

While Tosca, taken from Toscana, the Italian name for the region, is better established as a name, Tuscany has seen sporadic usage since the 2000s. Sunny and intriguing, Tuscany is associated with art and high culture, with the Italian Renaissance, the writers Dante, Petrarch, and Machiavelli, and artists Botticelli and Michelangelo. While the "tusk" sound will put some people off, Tuscany could make an unexpected place name.
