Thor (Old Norse: Þórr) is referred to by many names in Old Norse poetry. In the Nafnaþulur collection there is a strophe which contains a list of Thor's names.

Þórr heitir Atli
ok Ásabragr,
sá es Ennilangr
ok Eindriði,
Björn, Hlórriði
ok Harðvéorr,
Vingþórr, Sönnungr,
Véoðr ok Rymr. - [1]

Some of those names are well attested in Eddaic poetry and skaldic poetry. For example Þrymskviða contains both Vingþórr and Hlórriði. Others do not appear to occur outside of Nafnaþulur.

Oku-Thor - Thor the Charioteer Atli - Terrible One Asabrag - Prince of Gods Ennilang - The one with the Wide Forehead Eindridi - The one who rides alone Biorn - Bear Hlorridi - The loud rider Hardveur - The Strong Archer Vingthor - Battle Thor Sonnung - The True One Veud/Veurr - Protector of the Shrine Rym - Noisy One
