Meaning:*
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.
