Several traditional recipes have similar fancy names, even the "banger" sausage this dish is made from.
The individual serving recipe looks like a a ball of sausage meat inside Yorkshire pudding, so the name toad in the hole comes from that, since toads will often make or enlarge an existing cool and muddy hole to spend the day in. People in the cities today would be hard put to have this sort of knowledge of nature and invent such funny names, many probably think the toad is the male of the frog... ^-^
The most common recipe today is made in a large dish with several whole sausages, which looks rather disgusting, and not reminiscent of any toads or holes, so it is clear that the original recipe called for individual portions, and was not made from whole sausages either, but rather a plump little ball of sausage meat or left-overs, maybe with some gravy poured over inside the "hole". There was almost certainly no sausage casing involved in the original recipe.
Yorkshire pudding naturally forms a hole while baking, so it is also possible that the already cooked ball of meat and gravy was inserted inside the pudding's hole after it was formed, and left to bake for a few more minutes together.
It is all speculation though, as there is no known official and approved origin for the name.
The traditional dish Toad-in-that-hole came from Great Britain. It's name is a big mystery with popular speculation being that the dish resembles a toad in a hole.
Try not to think about the origin of this dish for too long I'd recommend.

Some of the advantages of Toad in the Hole are that it is quick and simple to make, one normally will have all of the ingredients on hand, and it is a very tasty dish. On the other hand, Toad in the Hole can be high in calories and high in fat, both of which can be considered disadvantages. Especially if you are watching your weight.
Sausage is the main ingredient.
