Proper name [Norwegian Bokmål]

IPA: /²torːˌbjœrɡ/, [ˈtôɾːˌbjœɾɡ] Forms: Thorbjørg [alternative]
Rhymes: -orːbjœrɡ Etymology: Inherited from Old Norse Þorbjǫrg, composed of Þórr (“Thor”) + bjǫrg (“help, protection, salvation”), literally “Thor-protection”. The first element Þórr is from Proto-Germanic *Þunraz (“Thor, god of thunder”), a personification of *þunraz (“thunder”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tenh₂- (“to thunder”). The second element bjǫrg is from Proto-Germanic *bergō (“protection, shelter, defense”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰergʰ- (“to protect, preserve”). Compare Faroese Torbjørg, Icelandic Þorbjörg and Swedish Torbjörg (“female given names”).
