Torin Origin and Meaning

The name Torin is a girl's name meaning "little chief, little hill, mound; holding fast; bull; victory".

Used predominantly as a masculine name, Torin is nevertheless given to a handful of girls each year in the US. From its Irish origins, it is connected either to the word torran meaning "little hill" or to the name Toran, meaning "little chief", while it can also be considered a Spanish short form of Hector and a spelling variation of the French Taurin, associated with Taurus.

As a girl name, however, it might work as an alternative to Lauren/Loren, or as a twist on the Victoria pet name Tori.
