==Name==
Although ''Frøya'' is the name of the Norse goddess ''Frøya'' or ''Freya'' (Freyja), the Old Norse form of the name was ''Frøy'' or ''Frey''. Therefore the name of the island has probably the same root as the name of the Norse god Freyr, brother of Freyja. The names originally were titles: "lord"/"master" or "lady"/"mistress". The oldest meaning of the common word was "(the one) in front; the foremost, the leading" and here in the sense "the island in front of Bremanger".
