التعريفات والمعاني

== Swedish == === Etymology === Literally: "The Dale of Torald's (or Torvald's) Croft." The name consists of multiple affixes but can be divided into two main compounds: Toltorp and dalen, with an interfix -s- in between. Tol is a contraction of the name Torald, Torvald, or possibly another similar name. The second element, torp, means "croft" or "a smallholding established outside a village." Together, they form the meaning: "Torald's (or Torvald's) Croft." The second half, dalen, is a compound of dal (“dale”) +‎ -en (“the”). In full, the name becomes Torald or Torvald +‎ torp +‎ -s- +‎ dal +‎ -en. While the first half, Toltorp, is attested since 1396, Toltorpsdalen was first attested in 1593. === Proper noun === Toltorpsdalen ?
