Chief or watchtower
Toryn is a modern variation likely derived from the Irish name Torin, meaning 'chief', or the Gaelic 'tor' referring to a watchtower or craggy hill. It combines a traditional Celtic foundation with a contemporary, sleek spelling. While rare, it fits the modern trend of two-syllable names ending in 'n'.
