Silverthorne: “dweller by the silver thorn”. What is actually it mean and is it accurate in Norway it signifies “divine spear”?
I have completed some some quite substantial investigation on-line but the identify silverthorne is shown as in aged English “dweller by the silver thorns” and supposedly in Norway it implies “divine spear”. Are these definitions accurate and what do they signify metaphorically?

Thorne = Anglo-Saxon or Old English or what is now “Thorn”, so your very last name has nothing at all to do with Norwegian. Silver = silver shade, thorn = some thing sharp on roses, and so on… Probably it’s just due to the indicating of a sharp item, which is employed as the meaning of “thorne/ thorn”. Silver = sølv in Present day Norwegian, thorn = torn in Modern Norwegian, so Silverthorn / Silverthorne = “Sølvtorn” in Modern day Norwegian but it doesn’t appear to be a surname.
“dweller by the silver thorn”: Probably the place that your ancestor’s arrived from was at a place that was formed like a “silver colored thorn or sharp object”?
It really is most most likely that your ancestors came from England or somewhere in the British isles in which Anglo-Saxon utilised to be spoken. But undoubtedly not in Norway. Anglo-Saxon & Norwegian are Germanic languages, meaning they may have some variety of relationship by way of Germanic languages like Anglo-Saxon, which afterwards on came to be called Aged English [or these "English phrases which has Germanic roots" at least from a modern English speaker's stage of view], Scandinavian languages, Yiddish, German, Dutch, and many others…
divine = guddommelig
spear = lanse spidde, spyd
As you can see, the contemporary Norwegian term for spear = “lanse”: Does this remind you of any English or shall I say “Anglo-Saxon” or “Medieval moments” English? It does look considerably like the term “lance” in English does it not?
