About Terryll
Terryll, a surprisingly ancient moniker, has its roots firmly planted in the pre-8th century. During the fervent Danish-Viking era, this name emerged from one of two potential sources. The first source suggests a connection to the Middle French term "tirez," which translates to "to draw or draw a sword." This interpretation aligns with the Old French word "tirer," meaning "to draw, pull out with great effort, snatch violently, tear away." Interestingly, "Terryll" was documented in the Domesday Book for Suffolk in 1086.
Alternatively, the name may have originated from the Old Norse God's name "týr," which is derived from the *Ancient Germanic word "tíuz," meaning "God." This theory aligns with the Norman nickname "Tirel," which was used to describe a stubborn animal** that relentlessly pulled at the reins.
