This "surname is derived from a nickname, as in 'betrothed' or 'bound,' from the Scandinavian 'trot lof,' bound in law, a bondsman." 1 2
Another source notes the name was derived from the Old English treowe and lufu 'faithful love' in the sense 'faithful lover, sweetheart, beloved'. 3
Interestingly, "in the 14th century, this was the name of an aromatic herb (a 'breath-sweetener') - 'Under his tonge a trewe-love he beer [bare]' Chaucer, Canterbury Tales.
The surname Trolove was first found in Shropshire where Roger Trewelove held estates in 1275. A few years later, Robert Treuweloue was listed in the Subsidy Rolls for Sussex in 1296 and later again, John Truloue was listed in the Assize Rolls for Warwickshire in 1384. 3
The Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 137 include Willelinus Trewluf and Ricardus Trewluff as holding estates there at that time. 1 In Somerset, John Truvelove was listed there 1 Edward III (during the first year of King Edward III's reign.) 4
