What is the meaning of the name Storm ?

The baby name Storm is a girl name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced STORM.

Storm is Dutch, English, Old English, Old Norse in Origin.

Storm is an English vocabulary name from Old English storm, the earliest attested English form, denoting a violent atmospheric disturbance or tempest. The word belongs to the Germanic stock: Dutch storm, German Sturm, and Old Norse stormr are close cognates, with the Norse masculine nominative ending -r later lost in many Scandinavian forms. Its literal sense is therefore simply storm or tempest, rather than a shortened form of a longer personal name.

As a name, Storm is modern and uncommon, used for both sexes in English, though weather words gained notice in twentieth-century nature naming. In Dutch and Scandinavian contexts it appears as a surname or byname; Storm van der Zee, born at sea in 1636 en route to New Netherland, shows descriptive Dutch usage. English spellings include Storme, Stormy, Stormie, and Stormi; Sturm is the German cognate. Associations include Theodor Storm, German-Frisian writer, and Marvel Comics’ weather-controlling character Storm.
