Tora is a gender-neutral name that has both Japanese and Old Norse origins. Depending on the Kanji used to write Tora, it can mean “tiger” in Japanese, making it a unique way to inspire baby with the strength, courage, and power the tiger represents. In Scandinavia, Tora is a feminine version of Thor, the name for the Norse god of thunder. If you want baby to remember the importance of claw-sharp strength or booming confidence, naming them Tora will have a lasting effect.
