Torren

Boy name · 11 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Torren: 11 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 5 births in 2025.

The name Torren has its roots in Scottish Gaelic, likely derived from *torran* meaning "little hill" or "mound"—a diminutive of *torr* (a hill or rocky peak). It is often considered a modern variant of the traditional Gaelic name Torin or a creative spelling of Torrance, the latter originally a surname from a place near Stirling meaning "from the hill." While Torren has no major historical bearer yet, it has gained quiet popularity in 21st-century Scotland as a fresh, outdoorsy alternative to Connor or Torin. The name shares its Gaelic root *torr* with the spectacular Torridon region in the Highlands, known for its rugged peaks. A notable variant, Torran, is used for both boys and girls in Scotland, making Torren a versatile, nature-inspired choice with a distinctly Scottish feel.
