Toryn

Meaning of Toryn

Toryn, a unisex name pronounced TOHR-in (/ˈtɔr.ɪn/), originates as a modern variant of the Irish Gaelic Torin, itself derived from the Old Irish tor, meaning “chief” or “thunder.” It also carries a faint echo of Norse mythology through its allusion to Thor, subtly evoking leadership and resilience without overt mythological weight. According to United States Social Security Administration data, Toryn first appeared in the late 1980s, reached its highest recorded rank of 756 in 1991, and between 2018 and 2024 has fluctuated between ranks 876 and 915, with nine newborns given the name in 2024. Though it has yet to breach the top 500, it retains sufficient statistical substance to avoid anonymity in registry reports, making it a technically sound choice for parents seeking a name that balances historical roots with modern neutrality.
