Help[Opinions] Re: Thorwald
in reply to a message by Bear
I know about Torvald/Thorvald meaning "Thor's ruler", whatever that might actually signify.
I also have people translate "wald" with forest, which I personally think is funny, albeit kinda childish 8-)
I've had one person tell me it's actually simply the Olde English spelling of the Norse Þórvaldr, which I prefer.
Wald is being related to Walt(h)er, where it would mean "to rule" again... I guess vald & wald are simply different spellings of the same thing.
