What is the meaning of the name Gersemi ?

The baby name Gersemi is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced GER-seh-mee (approx. /ˈɡɛr.se.mi/).

Gersemi is Icelandic, Norse in Origin.

From Old Norse gersemi "treasure, jewel," Gersemi is the mythic daughter of the goddess Freyja and Óðr. The word occurs in medieval sources as a common noun for valuables, so as a given name it conveys "precious one" and "priceless treasure," a natural fit for a beloved child.

Attested in the Prose Edda tradition and later name lists, Gersemi appears alongside Hnoss - sometimes as a second daughter, sometimes as an alternate name with the same meaning. As a modern name it remains rare, with occasional use in Iceland and among Norse-inspired namers elsewhere. The form is typically kept as Gersemi; established variants are few, though Hnoss functions as a mythic counterpart. Meaning-based analogues include Jewel or Gemma. With its clear etymology and luminous sense, Gersemi offers a distinctive, heritage-rich choice.
