Todd

Todd is a masculine given name of English origin. The name Todd is derived from the Old Norse personal name Tóti, which was used by several historical figures in Scandinavia during the Viking Age. The meaning of Tóti is "people's assembly" or "assembly of people," and it was likely used as an epithet for someone who held a position of authority within their community. The name Todd became popular in England during the Middle Ages, but it was not widely used until the 20th century. In the United States, Todd began to gain popularity during the 1960s and 1970s, reaching its peak popularity between 1985 and 1990. Today, Todd remains a popular given name for boys in English-speaking countries. Some notable individuals with the name Todd include American actor Todd Bridges, who is known for his role as Willis Jackson on the television series "Diff'rent Strokes," and Canadian musician Todd Rundgren, who has been involved in numerous successful albums and tours throughout his career.
