Etymology
Named from R. Toller (the old name for R. Hooke) like the adjacent par. of Toller Fratrum supra and Toller Whelme in Corscombe par. infra .For the river-names, v. RNs.infra . The DB form cited here probably represents both Toller Fratrum and this Toller. The distinguishing affixes Porcorum and Swyne (s )-, Swynen (e )-, etc. mean 'of the pigs', an allusion to the 'great quantities of swine being anciently fed in the commons and woody tracts with which this parish abounded' (Hutch3 2709). Porcorum (gen.pl. of Lat porcus 'pig'), seems to be somewhat humorously contrasting with Fratrum in the next par., and it will be noted that these two Lat affixes do not occur until 1340. The vernacular affix from OE swīn 'swine, pig' is in use almost a century earlier: here the diverse spellings reflect alternation between forms with OE gen.sg. -es . OE gen.pl. -a , and ME analogical gen.pl. -ene . For the development to Swyn (in )ge -, etc. cf. Swingfield PN K 454. The single instance of Hog 's Toller may be the result of a translation of Toller Porcorum rather than reflect actual usage, although Hog -Toller is listed as an (older) alternative for the name in 1774 Hutch1 1529 along with Great , or Higher Toller . These last, like the 13th-cent. Optolre (from OE upp 'higher up river', are in relation to Toller Fratrum par. supra .
