Freyr First Name Meaning

Freyr is a male name of Scandinavian origin, meaning "Lord." In Norse mythology, Freyr is a widely venerated god associated with kingship, fertility, peace, prosperity, fair weather, and good harvest. He is sometimes referred to as Yngvi-Freyr and is especially associated with Sweden, considered an ancestor of the Swedish royal house. Freyr is known for riding the shining boar Gullinbursti and possessing the ship Skíðblaðnir, both magical artifacts. His most renowned myth involves his love for the giantess Gerðr, leading to his eventual downfall during Ragnarök. The name Freyr is thought to descend from the Proto-Norse form *frawjaʀ, meaning "lord," and is also associated with the Proto-Scandinavian adjective *fraiw(i)a-, meaning "fruitful, generative." In modern times, veneration of Freyr has been revived through the Heathenry movement.
