Toruń - City name
Early documents record the city name as Thorun (1226, 1466),Turon, Turun, Toron, and Thoron, and, after the 15th century, the current Polish name Toruń. The Teutonic Knights usually spelled it Thorun, which later became the German Thorn. When Toruń became a royal city, subject to the kings of Poland, Latin documents and coins usually spelled it Thorun, Thorunium, civitas Thorunensis, or civitas Torunensis.
There are several different etymological explanations for Toruń's name:
- It may be derived from the castle of Toron in the Kingdom of Jerusalem in which the Teutonic Knights served during the Crusades.
- It may come from the Polish word tor, which means "track (of the Vistula river)". Toruń would therefore mean "town on the track".
- It may come from the personal name Toron and mean "Toron's town".
- It may have been originally Tarnów, based on the Polish word tarnina, a kind of river plant. This name would have later been Germanized into Thorn, and re-Polonized into Toruń. There are many cities in Poland with a similar derivation.
- It may come from the Germanic god Thor.
Some people, such as Jan Miodek, claim that "Toruń" does not have any etymological meaning.
