Frea is an Old Germanic and Old Norse name derived from the Proto-Germanic root *frawjō, meaning lady, mistress, or noble woman, and is closely related to the divine title borne by Frigg and Freyja in Norse mythology. In some early Germanic sources Frea appears as a name for the goddess associated with love, marriage, and sovereignty, making it effectively a title as much as a personal name. The name shares its root with the Old English Frēa (used in the masculine sense of lord) and connects to cognates such as Freya, Freia, and Freyja across the Scandinavian and broader Germanic traditions.
