In summary

18th century, from Danish trold, Swedish troll, both from Old Norse trǫll, from Proto-Germanic *truzlą. Influenced by a native word for “coarse, boorish person”, attested in Upper German dialects from the 15th century, which is probably cognate to the former. The internet sense after English troll, from the Old Norse.
