History and Origin
Torquil is an Anglicised form of the Norwegian and Swedish masculine name Torkel, and the Scottish Gaelic name Torcall. The Scottish Gaelic name Torcall is a Gaelicised form of the Old Norse name Þorketill. The Scandinavian Torkel is a contracted form of the Old Norse Þorketill. This Old Norse name is made up of the two elements: Þorr, meaning "Thor" the Norse god of thunder; and ketill, meaning "(sacrificial) cauldron".
Another meaning of 'kettil' (shettil - Norwegian) or 'kittel' (shittel - Swedish), is HELMET (referring to the shape, and the material used). The combination of the two words, can be interpreted as 'helmet of Thor', or 'The protection of Thor'. Incantations and names are often double in Norse (a type of kenning).
Scandinavian variants of the Torkel include: the Norwegian and Swedish Torkil, Thorkel; the Norwegian Torkjell; the Faroese Torkil; and the Danish Torkil, Torkild.
A variant spelling of the Scottish Gaelic Torcall is Torcull.
A similar Scottish Gaelic given name is Torcadall, which is also Anglicised as Torquil.
Scottish: Anglicized form of the traditional Gaelic name Torcall, originally a borrowing of the Old Norse personal name Ṗorketill (see Torkel). The earlier uncontracted form of the Gaelic name is preserved in the surname Mac Thorcadail, Anglicized as MacCorquodale.
