Freya

Freya is a name with Scandinavian origins. In Norse mythology, Freya is Odin's wife and is the Queen of the Gods. She is also the goddess of fertility, gold, war and love. In Old Norse, her name was originally written as Freya, made up of the element ‘frowo’, which meant ‘female’ or ‘lady’. Therefore, the meaning of Freya is 'woman'. She was known for wearing a necklace called Brísingamen, which was so beautiful that no god or mortal could resist her when she wore it. Her chariot was pulled by two majestic cats and she wore a cloak of feathers. She also ruled over the heavenly meadow, Fólkvangr. She was so powerful that she could change the course of one’s destiny and also practiced magic and shapeshifting. The day Friday was named after Freya. The year 2007 saw Freya as the 25th most popular name in Wales and England. Freya Allan, Freya Tingley and Freya Mavor are some talented actresses in Hollywood with the name.

Freya lucky number is 1.

1 symbolizes a pioneering spirit, independent nature, and innate leadership capabilities. On a bad day, 1 can be a bit bossy or boastful, hiding any insecurities behind over-developed self-importance. 1 must remember that although it is first, it can very quickly become the loneliest number. Even the most autonomous 1s need the support of their friends, family, and lovers.
