The Story of Torvi
Torvi is an Old Norse feminine name combining Thor (the god of thunder, from Proto-Germanic thunaroz meaning thunder) and the suffix -vi, which may derive from Old Norse for holy site or sanctuary, or from the battle-related root. It is an authentically Norse name with deep roots in Viking-age Scandinavia, where Thor was the most widely worshipped of the Norse gods.
