1º_ 'Toli' is a chiefdom in the Eastern Province (Sierra Leone). 2º_ It is said of someone foolish, misplaced, who embarrasses others. Surely an affectionate form of the Galician tolo or its diminutive toliño ("crazy, obfuscated"). 3º_ Labrador, who drives a plow. [I don't know the origin, and I don't know if it can be a cause or consequence of the previous one. See palette ("palero"), Nazi ("Natzi"). ] 4º_ 'Toli' is a male name, and I guess it comes directly from the "field worker".
