No I don't think so. I mean, people have been asking what Hodor means since I started watching the show and reading the books so I'd reckon if it was already explained people would say so. Plus, reddit is making a big deal about how some one in 2008 some what as a joke predicted his name means hold the door -

That would be stupid but I don't think that's how it works because it seems to be a closed loop doesn't it? I mean Hodor had been hodoring all these years before Bran went back so his interactions had no change in how the past turned out, he was in fact part of it by what he did in the future! So now we're entering some deep time travel paradox shit and free will versus destiny or whatever.
Also I have some questions that need to be answered before making any jumps. For one, Bran and his time travel, which to me isn't so much time travel just the ability to rewatch history through the Weirwood trees but he has something magical occurring to him (as well as the Nights King) where he can interact with the past, but anyways, can he only visit locations with Starks or his family bloodline? Which leads to number two, the man The Children killed, was that Bran the builder and/or a Stark? Was the first white Walker a Stark? For the last two weeks since the Tower of Joy scene I've seen theories that Bran is responsible for the Mad King hearing voices and going crazy. Well I'm thinking that's retarded because the Targaryens have a long history of madness and we don't need any explanation whatsoever of why the mad king was a mad king - he's Targaryen, end of story. So I'm thinking, throw that shit out the window right now, not having it, won't listen to it. I think Bran may be restricted in what he sees by his family bloodline and possibly Weirwood trees.
