Τα Τόναια ήταν μία αρχαία ελληνική τοπική εορτή, που γινόταν στη νήσο Σάμο προς τιμή της θεάς `Ηρας. Κατά τη διάρκεια της τελετής των Τοναίων το ξόανο της θεάς μεταφερόταν έξω από τα όρια της πόλεως, κοντά στη θάλασσα, όπου το ράντιζαν με κλαδιά λυγαριάς βουτηγμένα στο θαλασσινό νερό και προσέφεραν γλυκίσματα. 1
