I just wanted to point out that while Taran might be a masculine name, Torunn is not. Also, the information that I found says that Torunn means "Tor's darling", which I guess is the same as "love of Thor" (not sure where you got 'little' from). Anyway, Torunn is a feminine name and the user-submission that states that Taran is a form of Torunn also says Taran is a feminine name.
I think it's more correct to assume that Taran is a Welsh name, at least if you're looking for the meaning and origin of the masculine name Taran.
