Torsten

Meaning of Torsten

Torsten is a warm, old-world choice of Scandinavian heritage meaning “Thor’s stone.” It evokes both the thunderous might of the Norse god and the steady solidity of a rock. In a nod to Latin flair, fortis saxum captures its strong-as-stone essence. This name travels seamlessly from Stockholm’s misty shores to a sunlit piazza in Roma. Parents love its grounded feel—no thunderstorm or cape needed. Though Torsten quietly ranks in the 900s on U.S. baby charts, that rarity only adds to its spirited charm.
