Torcall Origin and Meaning

The name Torcall is a boy's name of Gaelic origin.

Torcall is a masculine name with Scottish Gaelic roots, representing a variation of Torquil or Torcuil. Derived from the Norse name Þorkell (composed of 'Þórr,' the god of thunder, and 'ketill,' meaning cauldron or helmet), it carries connotations of strength and protection. Historically found in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, particularly in areas with strong Norse influence, Torcall remains relatively rare even within Scotland. The name connects to ancient Celtic-Norse heritage and offers a distinctive alternative to more common Thor-derived names. With its strong consonants and historical depth, Torcall provides a powerful yet uncommon option for parents seeking a name with authentic Scottish roots and mythological significance.
