Proper name [Norwegian Bokmål]

IPA: /²torːˌbjøːrn/, [ˈtôɾːˌbjøːɳ] Forms: Thorbjørn [alternative]
Rhymes: -orːbjøːɳ Etymology: Inherited from Old Norse Þorbjǫrn. The Old Norse name consists of Þórr (“Thor”) + bjǫrn (“bear”), literally “Thor-bear”. 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 bjǫrn is from Proto-Germanic *bernuz (“bear”); its deeper Indo-European origin is uncertain. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk Torbjørn, Danish Torbjørn and Torben, Swedish Torbjörn, Icelandic Þorbjörn and Faroese Torbjørn (“male given names”).

The Old Norse name consists of Þórr (“Thor”) + bjǫrn (“bear”), literally “Thor-bear”.\nThe 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 bjǫrn is from Proto-Germanic *bernuz (“bear”); its deeper Indo-European origin is uncertain.\nCompare Norwegian Nynorsk Torbjørn, Danish Torbjørn and Torben, Swedish Torbjörn, Icelandic Þorbjörn and Faroese Torbjørn (“male given names”).",
