Freya Given Name Meaning & History
GENDER: Feminine, USAGE: Norse Mythology, English (British, Modern), German, PRONOUNCED: FRAY-ə (English), FRE-ya (German). Origin Norse and Scandinavian: A noble-woman; Freya was the Norse goddess of love and fertility for whom Friday is named, said to be the most beautiful of the goddesses. From Old Norse Freyja meaning “lady”. This was the name of the goddess of love, beauty, war, and death in Norse mythology. She claimed half of the heroes who were slain in battle and brought them to her realm of Fólkvangr. Along with her brother Freyr and father Njord, she was one of the Vanir (as opposed to the Æsir).
Some scholars connect her with the goddess Frigg. This is not the usual spelling in any of the Scandinavian languages (in Sweden and Denmark it is Freja and in Norway it is Frøja) but it is the common spelling of the goddess’s name in English. In the 2000s it became popular in Britain. This name derives from the name of the Old Norse goddess Freyja, the goddess of love and fertility in Norse mythology. In Norse mythology, Freyja (Old Norse the “Lady”) is a goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, gold, war, and death.
Like the name of the group of gods to which Freyja belongs, the Vanir, the name Freyja is not attested outside of Scandinavia, as opposed to the name of the goddess Frigg, who is attested as a goddess common among all Germanic peoples, and whose name is reconstructed as Proto-Germanic *Frijjō. — Freya is a name derived from Nordic mythology; she is the goddess of love, fertility, and beauty. Rendered as “Freyja” in Old Norse, the name means quite simply the “Lady”, derived from the Proto-Germanic root “frowo” meaning “lady, female” (the same place where Germans get their word “fräulein”). Freyja is one of the preeminent deities of Norse mythology, and certainly, the most fully constructed of all their goddesses.
