is pronounced thor. It is of Old Norse origin, and its meaning is "thunder". Mythology: Thor was the Norse god of thunder and power, one of the sons of Odin. Thursday was named for Thor. Famous people with the name: Explorer Thor Heyerdahl.
This name was first used in this spelling by William Shakespeare for a character in his comedy 'Twelfth Night' (1602). Shakespeare may have based it on OLIVER or OLIVA, or perhaps directly on the Latin word oliva meaning "olive". In the play Olivia is a noblewoman who is wooed by Duke Orsino but instead falls in love with his messenger Cesario. Also means peace - of the olive tree.
The name has been used in the Engish-speaking world since the 18th century, though it did not become overly popular until the last half of the 20th century. Its rise in popularity in America was precipitated by a character on the 1970s televsion series 'The Waltons'.
From the English word grace, which ultimately derives from Latin gratia. Grace of God. This was one of the virtue names created in the 17th century by the Puritans. The actress Grace Kelly (1929-1982) was a famous bearer.
Son of William (resolution, helmet).
Peace, Grace, and Resolute. Funny, that actually sounds like me.
Peter: Derived from St. Peter, initialy named Simon, but had the name Kepha given to him be Jesus. Kepha is aramaic for rock. The name "Peter" is derived from the greek translation of Kepha, Petros.
Gary: Derived from the old English/Germanic word for Spear
Hackenbeck: derived from Hagenbecker, a german word which roughly translates into "Baker who lives by the bushes". In my life I have yet to meet a Hackenbeck who isn't part of my immediate or shortly extended family.
Well according to the almighty "Urban Dictionary" my names mean:
1. A sex move invented by my ex-roomate Harry. This is when you wake a girl up, just in time for her to be awake when you cum either on her face or on her chest.
2. We Harry's are near guru standard, people ask and we provide the answer. However our own problems are hidden, you may pester but we remain zen. It's like dropping a pebble in a lake, but no ripples emerge. A voice of wisdom people turn to when no one else knows what to say. If you don't tell him the problem. sometimes we already know...
1. the act of inserting one's penis into someone's nostril for sexual arousal.
2. A badass family known for making cannons, shaving products, knights, karate dojos, and really awful 16-Bean soup for Church Events.
Actually, as a mistake by either the church or navy, the stories are mixed, my grandpa's name was changed to Lawrence. My real name is supposed to be Lawrenson. I have no results about anything to do with that name, it could just be a Welsh variation of Lawrence.

Lucas Kane was the main character in Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecies). That's kind of cool.
Yeah, I found that out a while ago, and was sort of intrigued by the fact. When I was younger I thought it was neat that Lui Kang's name was like mine, but this one was a little more... not stupid.
Also fact - Both my first, last, and middle names can be first, last, or middle names. Thought that can usually go for anyone.

Oh, I found out that Lawrenson is something of the Welsh tradition of a child's surname being a variation of their parent's first name. I think it's like that. Basically "Son of a Lawrence."
