perhaps from a Norman
nickname for a stubborn person, from Old French tirel, used of
an animal which pulls on the reins, a derivative of tirer ‘to
pull’.Woulfe suggests that it may be from the personal name
Thurold, Old Norse Thorvaldr, composed of the elements
þórr, name of the Norse god of thunder (see Thor)
+ valdr ‘rule’.
