[Opinions] Re: Thorwald
Try the name Facts Board. Those more versed in etymology hang out there. I'm not an expert, but I think "-wald/wold" is Anglo-Saxon for "forest," from the German "wald" (pronounced "vald.")
P.S. I just looked it up in my baby name book, "From Aaron to Zoe." It lists Thorvald, with a "v," as a Scandinavian name meaning, "Thunder ruler." But that's pretty much the meaning of "Thor" on its own, so I don't know how valuable that is. Baby name books aren't the best source. I mention it only because you might have a better luck if you also try searches for Thorvald, with a "v."
