The surname Thorold has a rich history, particularly among Irish families. It is believed to have originated from the Old Norse personal name "Þórvaldr," which means "Thor's ruler" or "ruler of Thunder."
The name Thorold can be traced back to the Viking settlements in Ireland, where Norse invaders intermingled with the local population. Over time, the name became anglicized and adopted as a surname by those of Irish descent. It is important to note that while the surname Thorold is commonly associated with Irish ancestry, it can also be found among families of English, Scottish, and Scandinavian origins.
As with many surnames, the spelling and pronunciation of Thorold have undergone changes throughout history. Variations of the name include Thorald, Thorhall, and Thorvald. These different spellings often reflect regional dialects and pronunciation differences.
In Ireland, the surname Thorold has been found primarily in the eastern and southeastern parts of the country. It is often associated with families who have a long-standing tradition in those regions. Many Irish families bearing the surname Thorold have contributed significantly to various fields, including politics, academia, and business.
