The name is associated with the old Slavic word ‘tor,’ which means ‘sheepfold’ in English. Historically, this might have to do with living in the mountainous area. The fact is that Torlaks were mainly shepherds by occupation, wandering the plains and terrains in search of fodder for their livestock.
