[ 1 syll. tod(d), to-dd ] The boy name Todd is pronounced TAAD †. Todd is of Old English origin and it is used largely in the English language. The first name is derived from the surname, itself originally a byname derived from the dialect word todde ('fox'). Variant forms of Todd include Toddie and Toddy. Tod (variant spelling in English) is another form of Todd. Todd is an all-time favorite. At present it is still somewhat popular as a baby boy name, but to a lesser degree than it was previously.

It was #28 in rank then. The baby name has seen a substantial decline in popularity since then.
