Todd

Boy name · 99 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Todd: 99 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 12 births in 1997.

Todd began as an English surname derived from the Middle English *todde*, meaning “fox”—a nickname for someone thought to be crafty or red-haired. Though not originally Scottish, it has been used steadily in Scotland since the 1970s, often chosen for its crisp, two-syllable sound.
