Meaning & Origin
A unisex given name.
Storm is a girl's and boy's baby name of Old Norse origin, from the Norse stormr meaning 'storm' or 'tempest.' As a given name, it evokes power, intensity, and the dramatic energy of weather at its most elemental. The X-Men character Storm — one of Marvel's most powerful mutants — gave the name serious pop-culture prestige.
Storm has the dramatic, elemental quality of names like Thunder, Rain, and River — but with more intensity. It's used for both boys and girls, carrying the Norse heritage of naming children for forces of nature. A name that announces itself with appropriate drama.
