The earliest recorded name is the Celtic ''Tarvodubron'', 'bull water', which became ''Thjorsá'' in the Norse translation, but owing to the frequency of Thor in place names, this was later adapted to ''Thorsá'' or 'Thor's River.' It was also known as ''Tarvodunum'' in old Celtic, meaning "fort of the bull".
The local Scots name, "Thursa", derives from the Norse, as does the modern [[Scottish Gaelic]] "Inbhir Theòrsa" (The "th" is pronounced as "h" and the "bh" as "v".). ''Inbhir'' means a river mouth, and is generally found as "Inver" in many anglicised names. It is possible that there was also a pre-Norse Gaelic name as well, as "tarvodunum" and "tarvodunum" are cognate with the modern Gaelic terms, "tarbh" (bull), "dobhran" and "dun".
