Toral (तोरल, Gujarati તોરલ) is a Gujarati girls' name that comes from a folk heroine rather than a dictionary word. In the legend of Jesal and Toral from Kutch, Toral, also called Turi, is a Kathi woman known for her devotional hymns, and the outlaw Jesal Jadeja, who tried to carry her off, is turned by her towards a religious life. Their shrine, Jesal Toral ni Samadhi, stands in Anjar, and the story has been retold in Gujarati films and songs. Name lists explain Toral simply as "folk heroine". We could not trace a separate word meaning.
