Torill Origin and Meaning

The name Torill is a girl's name.

Torill is a feminine name of Scandinavian origin, particularly common in Norway. It likely developed as a Nordic variant of Thora or Tora, ultimately derived from the name of the Norse god Thor. The elements combine 'Thor' with the suffix '-ill' or '-hild' (meaning battle or warrior). In Norwegian tradition, the name has been used since medieval times, carrying associations of strength and mythological significance. Torill maintains moderate popularity in Norway but remains uncommon outside Scandinavia. The name has a distinctive, crisp sound characteristic of Nordic names, with the rolled 'r' and clear ending. Its connection to Norse mythology gives it an intriguing heritage while remaining accessible in pronunciation for non-Scandinavians seeking a name with Viking cultural roots.
