Thorfinn, of Old Norse origin, translates to 'Thor'sFinn'. It is composed of two elements: Thor, the powerful Norse god of thunder and Finn, likely meaning 'fair' or 'white'. This name was popular among early Scandinavian settlers in Scotland during the Viking Age, particularly on Orkney and Shetland Islands. In medieval Icelandic literature, Thorfinn appears as a notable character in the Saga of the People of Laxardal, adding to its historical significance.
