Origin: Norse

Meaning: Thor's helmet

Stir up a storm with Torquil, an English variant of the Old Norse name Þórkætill. Torquil comes from Old Norse Þórr, meaning "Thor," and Old Norse kętill, translating to "helmet." Meaning "Thor's helmet" in English, Torquil may be related to the emission nebula NGC 2359, also known as Thor's Helmet. This space cluster resembles a Viking helmet with wings, similar to that of the Norse god Thor. Speaking of Thor, Torquil may be a great introduction to this mighty defender of humankind, whether through Germanic mythology or in the Marvel universe!
