Frayah is a modern Scottish variant of the Old Norse name Freyja, belonging to the Norse goddess of love, beauty, fertility, and war. The original name means “lady” or “noblewoman,” reflecting the goddess’s high status in mythology. Among notable bearers, Freya Stark was a celebrated 20th-century British explorer and travel writer, while singer-songwriter Freya Ridings has brought the name into contemporary pop culture. No major places share the exact form Frayah, though several locations in Scandinavia take their name from Freyja, such as Frøya in Norway. This spelling adds a soft, distinctive twist to a name that has risen steadily in Scottish birth registers since the 1990s, blending ancient legend with a fresh, lyrical feel.
