Torian Origin and Meaning

The name Torian is a boy's name.

Torian is a modern masculine name that may have evolved as a variant of names like Torin or Dorian. The suffix '-ian' typically means 'belonging to' or 'related to' in Latin-derived naming patterns. Some suggest it could be connected to the name Tory (meaning 'from the craggy hills' in Irish Gaelic) with an added suffix. The name has been documented in the United States since the late 20th century, with modest usage that increased somewhat in the 1990s and early 2000s. While not among the most common names, Torian has maintained consistent usage across diverse communities in the United States. The name has a contemporary feel that aligns with the trend toward distinctive-sounding names with strong consonants and rhythmic syllables.
