Jörð
In Norse mythology, Jörð (Icelandic "earth", pronounced and from Old Norse ''jǫrð'', pronounced , sometimes Anglicized as Jord or Jorth; also called Jarð, as in Old East Norse), is a female jötunn. She is the mother of Thor and the personification of the Earth. Fjörgyn and Hlóðyn are considered to be other names for Jörð. Some scholars refer to Jörð as a goddess.〔Orchard (1997:98).〕 Jörð's name appears in skaldic poetry both as a poetic term for the land and in kennings for Thor.
==Etymology==
