Origin: Norse

Meaning: Thor's bear

Step aside, Teddy, Paddington, Rupert, and Yogi, the most formidable bear of all has arrived and is here to stay. Thorbjorn, meaning “Thor’s bear,” is a boy’s name derived from the Norse moniker Thor and the term bjǫrn. Thor is famously the hammer-wielding god of thunder, lightning, and war, well-known amongst fans of both mythology and Marvel. Although not the most cuddly of their kin, baby Thorbjorn will still be affectionate and a great protector of their friends and family.
