It's been long-argued that Torin may be derived from the Old Gaelic word tiarna (meaning “lord” or “chief”) or possibly an Anglicization of the Norse Torfinn.

It's alright, the only problem is this name sounds like “Turan”, an old empire and territory in central Asia and “Torn”. Apart from that, this name is fine.

To a previous commenter, while it’s possible that Torin could be a Japanese name, the way they wrote it was in katakana, not kanji. And it would be pronounced toe-reen if written トリン。

I like the name Torin. I probably wouldn't use it for one of my own theoretical children, since it does remind me of the word "torn" personally, but it's a name I wouldn't hesitate to use for a character. Admittedly, I also really like the name since it reminds me of the name Thorin, and I love Tolkien's works.

In Welsh Gaelic it means 'little-prince'.

The above poster is incorrect; Welsh Gaelic doesn't exist. Gaelic (Irish and Scottish) and Welsh are both Celtic languages, but they aren't really related linguistically.

The Gaelic languages are actually Irish, Scottish and Manx. A lot of people forget Manx.

I LOVE this name. "Chief" is a good meaning, too. I also love that you can use Tor for a nickname, which means "thunder" in Scandinavian.

I don't care for this name. It reminds me of "torn" or the tearing of flesh (much like the name Tallon). I see the appeal though, just not my style.
