He was born Thobias Nilsson Montler, but legally changed his name to omit Nilsson in 2019. Among other reasons, the whole name did not fit on athlete's bibs or plane ticket, and neither had he ever used the Nilsson name personally.{{cite news|url=https://www.expressen.se/sport/friidrott/svensken-byter-namn-ingen-kallar-mig-det/|title=Svensken byter namn: "Ingen kallar mig det"|last=Holmberg|first=Ludvig|date=24 September 2019|work=Expressen|language=Swedish|accessdate=25 September 2019}} He hails from Landskrona.{{cite news|url=http://landskrona.lokaltidningen.se/nyheter/2018-09-05/-%E2%80%9DEtt-svar-p%C3%A5-att-det-man-g%C3%B6r-%C3%A4r-r%C3%A4tt%E2%80%9D-3070316.html|title="Ett svar på att det man gör är rätt"|last=Lundin|first=Jonas|date=5 September 2018|work=Lokaltidningen|language=Swedish|accessdate=25 September 2019}}
