Freya
girl
Freya means "noble woman" or "lady," from Old Norse. It is not a King James Bible name, and it comes from Norse mythology rather than Scripture — worth knowing if you want a strictly biblical name. Its nobility does have a scriptural counterpart: "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies" (Proverbs 31:10).
Is Freya in the Bible?
No — the name Freya does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Noble woman; Lady", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Freya.
