Meaning & History

Name of a minor Norse goddess, one of Frigg's handmaidens, said (by the Icelandic chieftain and poet Snorri Sturluson, d. 1241) to be related to Old Icelandic sjafni "love". Modern-day academics, however, argue that it might rather be related to Old Norse sefi meaning "sense" as well as "relation".
