It could mean ''the people of Tota'', in which context Tota may have been a local Anglo-Saxon chieftain.<ref name=Morden/> Alternatively it could be derived from an old meaning of the verb ''to tout'', to look out. There may have been a watchtower here on the road to London and hence ''the people of the look-out post.''<ref name=Morden>{{cite book|last=Morden|first=William Edward|title=The History of Tooting-Graveney: Surrey|year=1923|isbn=1-142-75150-3}}</ref> The [[Roman Britain|Romans]] built a road, which was later named [[Stane Street (Chichester)|Stane Street]] by the English, from [[London]] (Londinium) to [[Chichester]] (Noviomagus Regnorum), and which passed through Tooting.
