Trym is Norwegian in Origin.

Trym is a masculine given name of Old Norse origin, derived from Þrymr, a noun meaning “uproar, din” and by extension “glory” or “renown.” The name is best known from Norse myth: in the Eddic poem Þrymskviða, Þrymr is the giant king who steals Thor’s hammer Mjölnir, prompting the famous ruse in which Thor dons a bridal disguise to reclaim it. This literary association gives the name a vivid, thunderous character rooted in the sound and spectacle of mythic combat.

As a personal name, Trym saw little continuous medieval use but reemerged with the Nordic revival of Old Norse heritage, gaining steady traction in Norway from the late 20th century. It remains most common there today. Variants and related spellings include Old Norse Þrymr and the Anglicized Thrym; the modern standard Scandinavian form is Trym. Feminine or diminutive forms are rare.
