Thorigné

Thorigné is a French placename. It most commonly refers to:

  • Thorigné-en-Charnie, a commune in the Mayenne department in north-western France.
  • Thorigné-d'Anjou, a former commune in the Maine-et-Loire department in western France, now part of Les Hauts-d'Anjou.
  • Thorigné-Fouillard, a commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany, western France.
  • Thorigné-sur-Due, a commune in the Sarthe department in the Pays de la Loire region, western France.

The origin of the name is likely Gallo-Roman, combining a personal name (likely of Gaulish or Roman origin) with the suffix "-acum," denoting a place or estate. Over time, this evolved into the modern "Thorigné." The root name would have been modified by regional pronunciation and spelling conventions.
