Family name origins & meanings

  • Spanish : possibly a habitational name from Trillo in Guadalajara province; otherwise, a metonymic occupational name from trillo ‘threshing sledge’ (Latin tribulum).
  • Italian : perhaps from French trille, a southern variant of treille ‘vine arbor’.
  • English : Reaney believes this to be an altered form of Thurlow, citing as evidence Philip de Trillowe 1279.
