Torrin

Boy name · 55 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Torrin: 55 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 10 births in 2022.

Rooted in Scottish Gaelic, Torrin derives from *torran*, meaning “little hill” or “hillock”—a natural choice for a name tied to the landscape. Its most prominent place connection is the village of Torrin on the Isle of Skye, a tranquil settlement overlooking Loch Slapin. While not widely borne by historical figures, the name appears in modern pop culture, such as the character Torrin in the TV series *The 100*. It can also be seen as a variant of the Gaelic name Torran, sharing the same earthy roots. Torrin has gained quiet popularity in Scotland as a fresh, unisex option that feels both rugged and gentle—a subtle nod to the rolling hills of the Highlands without being overly traditional.
