Thoryn (THOR-in /’θɔr.ɪn/) marries the roar of Norse mythology with a modern twist, evoking both the thunder god Thor and the steadfast dwarf-leader Thorin from Tolkien’s adventures. With roots in old Scandinavian tales, its sense of “thunder” suggests strength, loyalty and an adventurous spirit—qualities that parents seeking a name with real character will appreciate. Though still rare, Thoryn has quietly held a spot in the low 900s of U.S. popularity charts over the past decade, offering a distinctive choice for a boy who might one day make his own thunderous mark on the world. Like a lightning bolt dancing across the sky, this name crackles with promise, inviting a story brimming with warmth, courage and bright beginnings—no pressure, but he’ll certainly have the spark to light up a room.
