What is the meaning of the name Frigg ?

The baby name Frigg is a Female name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /frɪɡ/ (rhymes with "pig"), respelling: "frigg".

Frigg is Norse in Origin.

Frigg is the Old Norse name of the Æsir’s queen, from Proto-Germanic *Frijjō, built on the root *frij‑ “to love; beloved, dear; free.” Cognates include Old English Frīg (source of Friday, Frīgedæg) and Old High German Frīja/Frîa. The meaning aligns with marriage and household guardianship; the root is kin to the words friend and free, not to the peace element -frid/-fried.

Named in the Poetic and Prose Eddas, Frigg traveled through medieval lore and Romantic-era scholarship; the continental/Latinized form Frigga dominated 19th‑century retellings. As a given name it remained rare until recent Scandinavian and neopagan revivals, with occasional modern use in Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. Documented variants and historical forms include Frigga, Frige (Old English), and Frija/Frîa (Old High German). Though frequently compared with Freya, she represents a distinct deity; the names are related only through later conflation.
