In summary

From Ottoman Turkish تورون (torun), from Proto-Turkic *tōr- (“young of an animal”), whence also dialectal Turkish tor, torum, torbuç and toru. For the semantic extension from 'young of an animal' to 'child/grandchild', compare Turkish çocuk. Cognate with Azerbaijani turun (“a two years old young camel; lineage”), Turkmen torum (“young of a camel”), Tatar турун (turun, “grandchild”), Crimean Tatar turun (“grandchild; niece, nephew”). Compare also Kumyk торай (toray, “piglet; child; grandchild”), Kazakh торай (torai, “piglet”), etc.
The similarity to Old Armenian թոռն (tʻoṙn, “grandchild”) is accidental.
