Note to Þul Jarðar 1III

[3] Sif: The name of a goddess, Þórr’s wife, whose name means ‘affinity’ (cf. Hárb 48/1, Hym 3/5, 15/5, 34/6, Lok prose, Þry 24/9, Gylf, SnE 2005, 5, 26, Skm, SnE 1998, I, 14, 19-20, 30, 35, etc.). In the þulur, Sif is also mentioned in Þul Kvenna II 1/4, but as a heiti for ‘earth’ her name is not found elsewhere.
