[Facts] Eric & Thor
ERIC m English, French
Pronounced: ER-ik (English), er-EEK (French)
Derived from the Old Norse elements ei "ever" and rikr "ruler". A famous bearer was Eric the Red, a 10th-century navigator and explorer who discovered Greenland. This was also the name of kings of Denmark, Sweden and Norway.Sorry to be picky but Erick the Red was called Eirik
** he wasn't english **If you look at Norwegian names you find this :
EIRIK m Norwegian
Norwegian form of ERIC
** Eirik is NOT a form of ERIC it is opposite (norwegian is the orign of the name) **Then it is Thor
THOR m Norse Mythology
Pronounced: THOR
From the Old Norse name Þórr, meaning "thunder". Thor was the Norse god of strength..etc
** Incorrect. TOR was his name, from that we get the word torden (thunder) **
(everything between ** are my comments)
