Meaning and background
The story behind Toasty
Toasty is an informal adjective meaning pleasantly warm and comfortable, particularly in North American usage according to Oxford. It may also evoke toasted bread through the similar sound, but those are associations rather than a proven naming origin. The soft ending creates a friendly two-syllable pet name without implying a particular personality.
