Fjörgyn and Fjörgynn
In Norse mythology, the feminine Fjörgyn (Old Norse "earth"〔Simek (2007:86).〕) is described as the mother of the god Thor, son of Odin, and the masculine Fjörgynn is described as the father of the goddess Frigg, wife of Odin. Both names appear in the ''Poetic Edda'', compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the ''Prose Edda'', written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. A number of theories surround the names, and they have been the subject of scholarly discourse.
==Attestations==
Fjörgyn is attested in the ''Poetic Edda'' poem ''Hárbarðsljóð'' stanza 56 and ''Völuspá'' stanza 56. Fjörgynn is attested in the ''Prose Edda'' books ''Gylfaginning'' chapter 9, and ''Skáldskaparmál'' chapter 19, and the ''Poetic Edda'' poem ''Lokasenna'' stanza 26. The name Fjörgyn also appears in Skaldic poetry at times as a synonym for "earth" or "land."〔Lindow (2001:117).〕
