Toryn is an uncommon, unisex given name of Welsh origin. It derives from the Welsh word "torwr" which means "thunder". The name Toryn is often associated with the thunder god, Thor, in Norse mythology, further emphasizing its strong and powerful connotation. The name gained some popularity in the late 20th century but remains relatively rare today, making it a unique choice for parents looking for an distinctive moniker for their child.
"Toryn has seen a consistent rise in popularity since the late 90s, peaking at 36 births in 2018 and experiencing its most recent high of 30 births in 2016. However, it's worth noting that there was a significant drop-off from 28 births in both 2014 and 2015 to just 17 births in 2020 and 16 in 2021, suggesting potentially diminishing interest in the name."
