Origin and Meaning

1) Norwegian fantasy name, probably inspired by Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer Welhaven's poem "Lokkende Toner" ('Alluring Sounds', 1859), where the refrain is

Tirilil Tove
Langt, langt bort i Skove

'Tirilil Tove'
'Far, far away in the woods' [1] [2]

2) It also reminds of other names ending with -ril/-rill containing the Old Norse name element HILD (e.g. Siril) [1] [2]

3) Norwegian tiriltunge = 'bird's-foot trefoil' (Lat. Lotus corniculatus, flower) [2]

4) The tiril-part of 3) is a younger form of Old Norse þyrill which means 'a whisk' (with a fringe at the end, with which to whip milk), see also Þyrill [3]
