טוֹב (Tôb) serves as both a common noun meaning 'goodness' or 'prosperity,' and as a proper noun referring to a geographical region probably east of the Jordan River. As a common noun, טוֹב denotes the state or quality of being good, beneficial, pleasant, agreeable, or morally upright. As a toponym, it designates a region, most likely in the Transjordan area, referenced in relation to figures like Jephthah. The semantic range thus includes both normative notions of 'goodness' as well as the technical designation of a place named for or associated with this quality.
