Thinking about the name
Torrey
Scandinavian origin
“Derived from the Norse element 'torr,' meaning 'Thor's warrior' or related to rocky, craggy terrain. Torrey suggests strength rooted in nature and Norse mythology, with a lighthearted, approachable quality. The name works well for both genders and has seen modest use in Scandinavian and English-speaking regions.”
