What does Thor mean?
/θoɹ/1 syllableOrigin: Germanic languages

Thor is the name of the Norse god of thunder, strength, and storms, who wields the hammer Mjolnir in Germanic and Scandinavian mythology. The name comes from Old Norse and shares its root with the English word "thunder."

It's a bold, single-syllable name with real weight behind it, perfect for a pet with a powerful build or a commanding presence. Thor suits a companion who takes up space and holds it well, all rumble and heart.
