Search of the word 'fool'. See that there is no 'Thor'
The New English-German Dictionary

Search of the term 'Thor'. No results
The New English-German Dictionary

Another search for Thor. Notice nothing has been returned for 'Thor', but 'Tor' comes up as a similar result.

Thor with H is the more old fashioned writing... but the term is old fashioned anyway. People would rather say "Narr".
