Torkel

Torkel is a masculine name and the modern Scandinavian form of the Old Norse title Þórketill. This moniker's first three letters point to the Norse god it honors, as Tor sounds remarkably similar to Thor. The god of thunder, the sky, and agriculture, Thor was often depicted slaying giants or fiercely protecting the human and godly realms. Torkel's second element, ketill, means "cauldron," giving it the translation of "Thor's cauldron." While Thor obtained a cauldron to brew an eternal supply of ale, the idea of a cauldron will hold deeper significance for your Torkel. Perhaps it will represent the joy and delight they'll stir up in everyone they meet. Or maybe it will symbolize the knowledge they'll build, the friendships they'll make, and the abundant supply of enthusiasm they'll have!
