[Facts] Tiril
What is the meaning of the name Tiril? It's number 40 on the Norwegian top 100 list but I can't seem to find the meaning anywhere.

It is apparently a fantasy name, according to this exhaustive website about Scandinavian first names:http://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/TirilSo, I guess no one really knows for sure. At first glance, I would have thought that it is a combination of the name of the Germanic god Tyr, and the Germanic element hild "battle." But that will probably forever remain speculation.
