Meaning:Holy thunder; Thunder strength; Thunder fighter
Thyra is a feminine name of Scandinavian and Norse origin, meaning “holy thunder,” “thunder strength,” and “thunder fighter.” If you haven’t guessed by now, Thyra is derived from Þýri, an Old Norse title that finds its roots in Thor, the name given to the Norse god of thunder. Thyra offers a more subtle dedication to Thor than monikers like Thora and Tor, giving it an extra level of versatility that baby may appreciate. Elegant and refined, Thyra is a lyrical appellation that looks as good as it sounds. If you know baby will have a thunderous personality and a warrior spirit, Thyra will match that energy.
