Uncertain. Possibly:
# A variant of thanukël (“common dogwood”), from thanë (“cornel cherry”) + -ukël (diminutive suffix).
# From *thanulk-, from thanë (“cornel cherry”) + ulk (“wolf”).
# From Proto-Albanian *tsunu-abōla, akin to Lithuanian šunobelė (“buckthorn”) and Dacian κινούβοιλα (kinoúboila, “bryony”) (see there for more), from a Proto-Indo-European compound of *ḱwṓ, *ḱun- (“dog”) and *h₂ébōl (“apple”), with an unexpected change of /-b-/ to /-k-/. If so, this term would preserve both the original PIE words for “dog”, and “apple”, which were replaced by qen and mollë respectively.
