where does the first name todd come from
Todd (given name) Todd is a given name. The name originates in Middle English where it means "fox" (possibly referring to a fox hunter).
Garrett (name) Garrett is a surname and given name of Germanic and of Old French origins. It is one of the many baptismal surnames to have been derived from the popular names of Gerard and Gerald in 12th Century England. Both of these names were taken to Britain by the conquering Normans and are the Old French versions of ancient Germanic personal names. The name Gerard (or Germanic: Gerhard) is composed of the Germanic elements gēr or gār (meaning "spear") and hard ("brave", "hard" or "strong"), while Gerald is composed of again gēr or gār ("spear") and wald ("to rule") In the US, it means "defender"[1][2][3][4] Although Garrett remains predominantly only a surname in England and Ireland, elsewhere in the English-speaking world it has become a popular masculine first name (e.g. in Ireland, and the United States).
