Best Answer

The word ton-ton is not english.

I have come across the word in "Ton-ton Macoute", in Haitian French. They seemed to be a cross between secret police, thugs and practitioners of Voodoo. They were dedicated to preserving the Dictatorship of "Papa-doc Duvalier".

This creole Haitian word is a copy of the French "Tonton", a nickname for "uncle" (we could say it is the masculine equivalent of "Auntie")

"Ton" in French means "your" when used as a possessive adjective. It is used before a masculine singular noun to indicate ownership or relationship.
