Where this word comes from

Perhaps from a Norman nickname for a stubborn person, from Old French tirel (“an animal which pulls on the reins”), a derivative of tirer (“to pull”). Woulfe suggests that it may be from the personal name Thurold or Þorvaldr, from Old Norse Þórr (“Thor”) + valdr (“rule”).
