Meaning & origin
Tosh is a concise, modern-sounding name with a somewhat mysterious background. It is likely a diminutive or variant of longer names, or a surname adopted as a first name. The name has never ranked in the U.S. Top 1000, but it saw a small peak in popularity in 2006. Since 2007, its usage has been on a steady decline. Nearly all recorded uses come from the 2000s and later, and the name is rarely given today.
Tosh is likely a diminutive or short form of longer names such as Anthony, though it also appears as a transferred use of the English surname Tosh, which may derive from a place name or a Scottish Gaelic term. As a given name, it saw modest use in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, particularly in the United States. Its popularity peaked in 2006, but has since declined.
