A Scandinavian masculine given name, common in Swedish and Norwegian cultures.
From Old Norse 'Þórstein,' combining 'Þórr' (Thor, the thunder god) with 'steinn' (stone). The name literally means 'Thor's stone' and has been used for over a thousand years.
Many Scandinavian names hide mythology inside them—Torsten literally carries the Norse god Thor's name, connecting every person named Torsten to ancient Viking heritage!
