Chief or watchtower
Derived from the Gaelic word 'tor', meaning a hill or mound, it is often interpreted as 'chief' or 'lord'. It can also be linked to the concept of a watchtower or a high place of observation. The name has gained some modern appeal as a shorter, punchier alternative to traditional Irish names.
