Todd

The name Todd is a masculine given name of uncertain origin. One theory suggests that it is derived from the Middle English word 'tod' meaning fox, possibly referring to someone with fox-like physical characteristics or personality traits.

Another possibility is that Todd is a shortened form of the surname Toddhunter, which was an occupational name for someone who hunted foxes or badgers. However, the connection between the name and this occupation is not well established.

Despite the uncertain origin, the name Todd has been in use since the 12th century and has maintained a steady popularity, particularly in English-speaking countries such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

In modern times, Todd is often associated with a down-to-earth, easygoing personality and is considered a relatively common and friendly name for boys.
