tolga

Tolga is a name with two common uses. It is a masculine given name in Turkish and is used among Turkish-speaking communities in Turkey and abroad.

Tolga is also the name of a municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The administrative centre is the village of Tolga. The municipality lies in the eastern part of the country and is characterized by rural landscapes, including forests, farmland, and small settlements. The local economy historically relied on agriculture, forestry, and small-scale industry, with modern life supported by public services and transportation connections.

The name Tolga as a place name and as a personal name are generally considered distinct in origin, and there is no widely cited single etymology connecting them. The Turkish use of Tolga as a given name is unrelated to the Norwegian municipality.
