Etymology
The name of the country is derived from the king of the Ayatundiri Nasla, Tanahawikukune Toalugiatirnahu I, who was killed by colonialists during the War of Kukune in 1889. There are also other conspiracies that Toalugi gained its name from the Nutaderram God, Tuhalugira, which is the 'god of land' according to the religion. The islands in southern Nesionytan Islands and even and  were referred to as ulagtına tuhalugira (lands of Tuhalugira) due to their landscape.

The former name of Toalugi was Thomas Islands, named after the first governor of the colony, Majari Thomas, whom the Majari island was also named after. The country gained independence as Toalugi in 1951, but was renamed to Tahılujin after Ulakisonia illegally annexed Toalugi in 1970. The Toalugi name was restored in 1990 after the invaded Ulakisonia and the country's independence was restored.
