torontál “kind of falcon; former district (megye) in the Bánát”

Tóth (Magyar surname)
utud (847x: ED IIIb, Old Akkadian, Lagash II, Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr.
tud; u3-tu; tu-ud “to give birth (to), bear a child”. According to EWU, p. 1535,
< Old High German thiot “people” and after used as denonmination for
Slavonic people, esp. Slowaks and Slovenians, but mostly in a negative sense,
cf. tótosan beszélni “to speak with Slowakian accent”, tótágast állni “to be in a
flap”, etc. However, it is hard to believe that a German word would have been
used for the Slavonic foreigners in Hungary and especially a word with the
general meaning “people”. Therefore, since Tóth originates in Sum. and
considering the meaning “people”, which can only mean Hungarians, the
Tóth’s must be one of the oldest Hung. tribes. (Our etymology follows Ida
Bobula, Kétezer magyar név sumir eredete. Montreal 1970, p. 82.)

Babylonian, Old Babylonian, unknown) wr. tab; tab4 “to double; to repeat;
companion, partner”
