Help[Surname] Re: meaning of Towle
in reply to a message by Menke
According to the Oxford Dictionary of Surnames (1997), Towle is indeed from Toll:
either from Old English "toll"
or from Old Norse: pet form of Thorleifr (the god Thor + life) or Thorleikr Thor + ?)
The dictionary also mentions a dialectical word "toll" for a clump of trees.
