Meaning & History
A minor goddess of love, or rather of young love, in Germanic Mythology.
Some scholars argue that she might be identical with SJÖFN, Frigg's handmaid, from Norse mythology who in the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning is described as being "concerned to direct people's minds to love, both women and men."
