Todd is a surname meaning "fox" (from Old English todde). It is an English (mainly northern) and Scottish surname, but probably originated in Scotland for someone thought to resemble a fox in personality (in cunning or slyness) or perhaps more obviously in having red hair. This name was brought to Ulster, Ireland.[1] It may refer to:
