Etymology
It may be suggested that the first element in this name is the late OE Tole , a pers. name of Scandinavian origin. Thus there was a Toli in North Piddle in DB (TRE). There is no difficulty in compounding this with worthine from OE worðign , for this element was still living at a late date (v. infra 393). It should be added that an OE Tolla , a pet-form for such a name as Torhtlāf , is not out of the question.
