Hodor has been a mainstay of “Game of Thrones” for most of its run, and in this week’s episode we finally learned how he got his name.
(Warning: Hodorable fan-made door stops inspired by show spoilers ahead…)
Bran visited the past and warged into a young Hodor, known then as Wyllis…

Wyllis could hear Meera in the present screaming “Hold the door!”
Wyllis repeated the phrase over and over until it was condensed to “Hodor.”
Hodor.
