Etymology
v. tun . The first element can hardly be identical with Toller (Do), Tollor in KCD 1322. In this case it is probably from OE tollere , 'tax-gatherer,' perhaps used as a man's second name.The Tolner - forms are from the OE by-form tolnere . Both Toller and Tolner are still used as surnames (v. Harrison, Surnames of the United Kingdom , s.n.).
