Torlop Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(A. - French - Teutonic) Loiterer; Slattern [Dialectal English and Scot. trollop, from troll, French troler, to stroll; Ger. trollen, to roll, loll: -op prob. represents the adv. up] In the Lanc. dialect (and one or two others) the word has taken a final -s— Aw should as soon think o’gettin’ wed to a co’n boggart as sich a trollops.—Waugh, Sneck-Bant, p. 91.

A ‘William de Trollop’ occurs in a I4th-cent. Durham record. The ‘de’ here is prob. a mistake; if it were not, the second element would represent hope (v. Hope), 'a hollow’, and the first doubtless be the Old Norse troll, ‘an elf’, ‘ogre’, ‘giant’.
