Origin and Meaning

Torgny is really a male name (see Torgny), which is sometimes misinterpreted as a female name because of its similarity to other female names ending in -gny like e. g. Dagny or Borgny. In their cases, the ending -gny is not from the male last name element GNY but from the female last name element NY. The letters g belong to first name elements. ^[1]
