Origin: Norse

Meaning: Thor's stone

Carrying the might of Thor, Torston’s ancient origins derive from the Old Norse Þórsteinn. This masculine name can be found throughout the Scandinavian languages and holds the elemental meaning “Thor’s stone.” As the Norse god of thunder, Thor wields a hammer and can summon lightning. He remains incredibly popular today as a beloved deity, which may have something to do with Marvel’s adaptation of Thor as a superhero and Avenger. So if baby’s will is as strong as stone and their laughter rolls like thunder, you’ll know you chose well with Torston.
