Could there be a Scottish connection ?

A kid I went to school with , in Edinburgh , was called Torin and he claimed the name was derived from the Gaelic term for a Chief.

Consider the names of other bonnets/caps :

Kilmarnock (Hummel)

Glengarry

Balmoral

Tam O'Shanter

Just a guess but worth thinking about.
