Name Root:
ÞÓRR > Þorbjǫrn / Þórbiǫrn
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Old Norse “Þorbjǫrn / Þórbiǫrn,” composed of two elements: “þónr” (thunder) plus “*bernuR” (bear). The name means “Thor’s bear.” In Norse mythology, Thor (Old Norse: Þórr) is a hammer-wielding God associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of humankind, and also hallowing, healing, and fertility. The cognate deity in more extensive Germanic mythology and paganism was known in Old English as Þunor and in Old High German as Donar (Runic: Þonar), stemming from a common Germanic “*þunraz,” meaning “thunder.”
