How to pronounce Tor-Ivar?

²toor-EEvuhr

The correct pronunciation of the -o- in Tor has no equivalent in English; the closest would be the very formal, dark o/oo sound as can be heard in older, upper-class English speakers, such as in ‘Moore’; it does not rhyme with ‘more’.
I- in Ivar rhymes with ‘bee’.
-var in Ivar rhymes with ‘car’.
The Rs are always pronounced.

Note: Norwegian is a primary-tone language. Tor-Ivar is pronounced with tone 2 (shown with the superscript two above): If Eastern Norwegian, it is low-rising-rising; if Western/Northern, it is low-high-falling.

First Name

Norse

Thor-Ivar, Tor Ivar, Thor Ivar

Thunder-Archer.

Tor is after the Norse god and name Þórr, of the same root as þunrar, ‘thunder’.

Ivar, norse Ivarr, might have multiple origins. It is most likely either a form of Ingvar; Ingvar, norse Yngvarr, comes from the godly name Ing or Yngve, and the -ar ending was originally ‘harjar’, meaning ‘warrior, fighter’. The beginning iv- might also mean ‘bow of yew’.
