How did the band Toto get its name?

There are a few stories about how the band Toto got its name. One story is that the band was originally called "The Joint" but changed its name to "Toto" to avoid confusion with another band called "The Joint." Another story is that the band was named after the dog of the band's manager, Jeff Lynne. According to this story, Lynne's dog was named Toto because he was always running off and getting lost, just like the dog in the movie "The Wizard of Oz." Whatever the true story is, the name "Toto" has become synonymous with the band's music, which is a mix of rock, pop, and R&B.
