Torbjörn Origin and Meaning

The name Torbjörn is a boy's name meaning "Thor's bear".

A Swedish old-man name that is currently attracting more attention in its country of origin. It might be a hard sell in the English-speaking world, but a similar name like Torben or Torsten — or even just Tor — could function as a substitute.

Torbjörn is derived from the Old Norse name Þórbjǫrn, with Þór meaning "Thor" and bjǫrn meaning "bear."
