Did you know?
- While Thor is the name used in most modern Spanish translations, the Spanish word for thunder, trueno, shares the same Indo-European root as the name of the god in many ancient languages.
- If you were to describe the god's nature in Spanish, you would call him un dios del trueno, which focuses on the sound of thunder rather than the lightning that often accompanies it.
- The name Thor follows the Spanish phonetic rule where the 'h' is silent, meaning a Spanish speaker might pronounce it similar to 'tor'.
