Origin: French, possibly from the 17th century.
Meaning: There are two main interpretations:
Locational: From someone living near a place called "Le Toit" (meaning "the roof") in France.
Occupational: For a roofer, derived from the Old French word "toit" for "roof."
History: The most famous Du Toit ancestor is likely François du Toit, a Huguenot who arrived in South Africa from France in 1686. Huguenots were French Protestants who fled religious persecution. His descendants became prominent figures in South Africa.
Today, Du Toit remains a prominent Afrikaans surname, particularly in South Africa.
