Sorka
[ˈsɔr.kə]Meaning
Norwegian Bokmål name of unknown origin; a rare Bulgarian given name
Background Story
In Norwegian Bokmål the name's etymology is unknown, though several explanations have been proposed: an older word meaning "black, dark", the verb surkle ("to gurgle, squelch"), dialectal sverkjil ("whirlpool"), and the dialectal verb sorka ("to acquire an ice crust") recorded by Ivar Aasen, with the river names Svorka, Sverka and Svarka compared to it. A user-submitted entry records Sorka as a rare feminine given name in Bulgarian.
