"Toshi" does not mean anything. People need to abandon this silly idea that Japanese names have meanings.

Only when "Toshi" is written in kanji, then the kanji can have meanings. "Toshi" can be written in multiple ways.

If a Japanese person named his dog Toshi, however, it would be written in kana 99% of the time, again resulting in having no meaning but the sound.
She found it on a Dutch website with Japanese dog names, I can't find it back.
Well what could it mean when it is written in Kanji ?
I can't write kana or kanji yet so...
And almost all names have meanings in about every language that exists, does not only apply to Japanese.
