The surname Todd has a rich history, particularly in Ireland. It is derived from the Middle English word "todd," meaning a fox.
The name is believed to have originated as a nickname for someone who had fox-like qualities or characteristics. It was common in medieval times for people to be given nicknames based on their appearance, behavior, or occupation.
In Ireland, the surname Todd is primarily associated with County Donegal and County Derry. It is believed that the name was brought to Ireland by Scottish settlers during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century.
During this period, many Scottish families migrated to Ireland, and their surnames became Anglicized over time. The name Todd likely underwent a similar transformation, as Scottish Gaelic was replaced by English as the primary language.
Today, the surname Todd can be found in various parts of Ireland and the United Kingdom, as well as in other English-speaking countries. It is often spelled with a single "d" or as Tod, reflecting different regional variations and spelling changes over time.
Overall, the surname Todd has a fascinating history and serves as a reminder of the diverse origins and influences that have shaped Irish surnames throughout the centuries.
