[5] Gerðr: ‘gerd[…]’ B, ‘gerdr’ 744ˣ
[5] Gerðr: This Ásynja is the daughter of the giant Gymir (see Þul Jǫtna I 1/8) and the wife of the god Freyr. For their marriage, see Skí, Hyndl 30 and Gylf (SnE 2005, 31). Olsen (1909) believed that the name Gerðr is related to garðr m. ‘farm, yard’, and that Freyr’s bride is the personification of a cornfield (on other possible interpretations of this name, see AEW: Gerðr).
