Torquil is an Anglicised form of the Norwegian and Swedish masculine name ''Torkel'', and the Scottish Gaelic name ''Torcall''. The Scottish Gaelic name ''Torcall'' is a Gaelicised form of the Old Norse name ''Þorketill''. The Scandinavian ''Torkel'' is a contracted form of the Old Norse ''Þorketill''. This Old Norse name is made up of the two elements: ''Þorr'', meaning "Thor" the Norse god of thunder; and ''ketill'', meaning "(sacrificial) cauldron". Scandinavian variants of the ''Torkel'' include: the Norwegian and Swedish ''Torkil'', ''Thorkel''; the Norwegian ''Torkjell''; and the Danish ''Torkil'', ''Torkild''.〔 A variant spelling of the Scottish Gaelic ''Torcall'' is ''Torcull''. A similar Scottish Gaelic given name is ''Torcadall'', which is also Anglicised as ''Torquil''. ==Torquil== *Torquil Archdeacon of Dublin in 1180. *Charles Torquil de Montalt Fraser, (born 1960), an English High Sheriff of West Sussex, England. *Torquil Campbell, (born 1972), a lead singer and songwriter. *Torquil MacLeod, (''fl.''14th century), a Scottish clan chief. *Torquil MacLeod (clan chief), a 16th-century Scottish clan chief. *Torquil MacNeill, 16th century Scottish clan chief. *Torquil Neilson, an Australian actor. *Torquil Norman, (born 1933), an English businessman. *Torquil Riley-Smith (born 1962), founder of the British radio station LBH, Britain's first gay radio station 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Torquil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
