The area is named after an old farm with the name Torshov (Old Norse Þórshof). The first element is the genitive of Þórr, the last element is hof, Norse meaning "Thor's temple." (No remains of the temple, however, have been found.)
Old farms with the name Þórshof are also found in Enebakk, Gjerdrum, Jevnaker, Lørenskog, Løten, Sigdal, Torsnes, Trøgstad and Vang.
