þurrar

þurrar is a given name of Old Norse origin. The name is derived from the Old Norse word "þurr," meaning "dry." It is a masculine given name. Historically, names with meanings related to natural elements were common in Old Norse culture. The pronunciation of þurrar involves the voiceless dental fricative sound represented by the letter "þ," which is similar to the "th" in the English word "thin." While not as common as some other Old Norse names today, þurrar can still be found in use, particularly in Iceland and among individuals with Scandinavian heritage. The name's etymology connects it to the natural world and its characteristics, reflecting a common naming convention of the period.
