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.
