Terrill

US Popularity Rank: 17125

Origin: Norse

Meaning: Follower of Thor, Thor's ruler; To pull

Terrill is a gender-neutral name of Norse origin, meaning “follower of Thor.” A tasteful little twist on the Old Norse name Torvald, whose elements make a mighty meaning of “Thor’s ruler,” Terrill is a name packed with the thrill that comes in thunder and lightning. Terrill has Old French roots, too, and is said to flow from the Norman French nickname tirel, meaning “to pull,” traditionally aimed at a person with a will and a way. So if your little darling is determined—come hell or high water—a name like Terrill might mean destiny.
