Thorben is of German origin, derived from the Old Norse Þórbjorn, which is composed of the elements Þórr (Thor) and Bjórn (bear). It translates to 'bear of Thor' or 'Thor's bear'. The name has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in Germany. Thorben is typically used as a given name for boys.
Thorben is quite uncommon but seems to be gaining some popularity with its steady birth count over these two years.
