Tóth (sometimes Tót or Toth) is a 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 Tothorszag.

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