Where this word comes from

Uncertain; it was described by the Romans as a Celtic city, but no corresponding tribe names are known. Possibly Proto-Celtic *tol- (“hill”), which could be related to *tullom, *tullos (“hole”) << Proto-Indo-European *(s)tew- (“to push, hit”); compare the French city Toulon and Welsh twll (“hole”), but widespread support for the evolution of "hole" to "hill" is lacking. Some sources cite a Semitic origin (Hebrew טלטול (“wandering”), טילטל (“to wander”)), but this has been dismissed as folk etymology as there is no evidence for a Semitic presence in the region. Also compare Tolentinum, a town in Picenum.
