Etymology
The phonetic history of Todwick points to an OE Tāt - with ME rounding of ā to ō in the thirteenth century (cf. Phonol. § 9); ME Tōt - was subsequently shortened in the compound to Tot - and -t - was voiced before the following voiced -w -. The occasional forms with That -, Tathe -, etc., are not significant, being inverted spellings.'Tāta's dairy-farm', from the OE pers.n. Tāta (Redin 55) and wīc.
