Etymology
The word Tjorl originates from the Solrød word Tiyorl ('lake'). During the late-11th to the mid-17th centuries, the term was used to refer to the inland settlements. The term gradually came to refer to all the kingdoms located on modern Tjorlish territory, most notably the Kingdom of Kjolkyst. After the kingdoms were unified in 1630, the Tjorlish founding fathers adopted the word as the nation's name. The Solrød word Tschuren derives from the Old Solrød terms Tszo ('snowy') and Ran ('peak'), referring to the Herman-Hansen mountain range located on Tjorl's northern border.
