About Trym

A concise choice with a clamorous meaning, Trym (or more traditionally, Þrymr) appears in Norse mythology, borne by a king of giants (or Jötunn) who stole Thor's hammer in order to gain the goddess Freyja's hand in marriage. This attempt fails — and ends in Trym's death — when Thor, dressed as a bride, appears at the union instead of Freyja.

Also appearing in stories on the early settlement of Norway, Trym ranked in the Norwegian Top 100 from 1996 until 2019 and has continued to dip in and out since then.

A notable bearer is the Norwegian drummer, Trym Torson, who began his career shortly before the name entered the charts.

There is also a river in the west of England called the River Trym, though it's believed the name came from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "strong" or "firm".

Pronounced TRIM.
