Torra

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Torra: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2022.

Torra is a lyrical name with roots in both Norse and Scottish Gaelic, where it is derived from 'torr' meaning a hill or rocky peak—a fitting connection to Scotland's rugged landscape. It can be seen as a feminine form of Tor or a variation of Tora, and shares its etymological heritage with place names such as Torridon in the Highlands. While not widely used, Torra has a quiet strength and echoes the natural world, making it a distinctive choice. The name also resonates with the Scottish tradition of using landscape-inspired names, offering a subtle nod to ancient hill forts and towering crags without being overtly dramatic.
