Tóth (sometimes Tót or Toth) is a Hungarian ethnonymic surname that was an older term meaning "Slovak" or "Slavonian", since one of the Hungarian names for both Slovakia and Slavonia (Slavic parts of Kingdom of Hungary) was Tóthország.

Tót has also been a more general Slavic reference, per toponyms like Tótszerdahely and Tótszentmárton on the southern border of Hungary.[1]

Tóth is among the top three most frequent surnames in Hungary.[2]
