It is ludicrous to assume that the dog wasn’t named after the street and town of Toto, Indiana. I can see them both out of my back window. L. Frank Baum owned a home in Bass Lake, Indiana. Toto Road runs directly West into Bass Lake. Local history dates the town of Toto back to the early eighteen hundreds when it was an Indian outpost. Where does a writer dream up a name like TOTO? duhhhh.

∙ 14y agoIf there is a street in Indiana named Toto, I don't believe Baum named the dog after it. Toto was thought to be short for teetotaler.

Toto existed as a nickname by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when the author was planning and writing "The Wizard of Oz." A subsequent explanation which did not come from any Baum family source connects the nickname with teetotaling, or the refusal to drink alcoholic beverages.Frank Baum stayed at a hotel (which is still standing and is a private home now) in Bass Lake, IN. As a child I lived 5 miles from there. There were life size color statues that used to be in the yard of the hotel. While he was there he wrote much of the Wizard of Oz. Nearby, approximately 3 miles, is and was a small town named TOTO. We were always told that he named the dog TOTO after Toto, Indiana.
