Frea

Frea is a name drawn from Old Norse, derived from the Germanic root meaning lord or beloved, closely related to the Old Norse word for a noble or exalted being. In Norse mythology, Frea is a name associated with the goddess known elsewhere as Frigg or Frija, appearing notably in the Langobardic origin legend recorded by Paul the Deacon, where she plays a decisive role in giving the Lombards their name. The name shares its root with Freya, Frigg, and the Old English Frige, all reflecting the same ancient divine feminine figure venerated across Germanic-speaking peoples.
