Tor
Tor is often given to boys of Old Norse and Hebrew origins. The meaning of Tor is 'thunder' or 'turtle-dove', with the former referring to the name as a modern Scandinavian spelling variant of Thor, a Norse god well known as the personification of thunder. The name also has Irish-Gaelic origins, the likely variant of Torr, and the name may refer to a watchtower or a craggy hilltop. The name has become a frequently used last name for an increasing number of overseas Chinese communities found worldwide as it is a transliteration of various Chinese surnames such as Dai, Tai, Tao, or Toe. Its meaning is dependent on which Chinese letters are used. The name was given to a notable personality, Tor Wahlman, who held a senior position in the Swedish Coastal Artillery and served as the artillery's commanding officer for over a decade.
