Thoran is in Origin.

Thoran is a modern Scandinavian-influenced given name built on the Old Norse theonym Þórr (Thor, “thunder”) with the productive -an ending, yielding the sense “of Thor” or “thunder-associated.” It is not well attested as a medieval personal name, though related forms appear in Nordic surnames such as Thoren/Thörn. As a given name, Thoran has seen rare but rising use in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century, buoyed by interest in Norse myth and strong, elemental imagery.

The spelling also intersects with South Asian usage: Toran derives from Sanskrit torana, “gateway/arch; festoon,” a symbol of welcome and auspiciousness hung over doorways. In diaspora contexts, Toran is sometimes rendered as Thoran, though in Malayalam thoran names a vegetable stir-fry rather than a personal name. Variants and related forms include Thor, Tor, Toran, Torin, Thorin, Thoren; feminine counterpart: Thora/Þóra. Meanings: “thunder; of Thor” or “gateway/auspicious arch.”
