Meaning & History
The origin of the first element of this name is a bit uncertain; it may be derived from the old Polish verb #tolić# "to silence", which in turn is ultimately derived from Proto-Slavic #toliti# "to calm, to soothe, to silence". The second element is derived from Polish #gniew# meaning "anger", which is derived from Slavic #gnev# "anger".
