In the last surviving and by far best known version of Germanic mythology, Norse Mythology , some believe she had split into two related goddesses, the promiscuous , who was married to Odr , and the sometimes unfaithful ''' Frigg ''', who was the wife of Odin (''Frigg'' is the Old Norse form of the name ''Frige'', whereas ''Freyja'' is an unrelated noun which originally meant "lady"). This theory arises from the belief that '' Freo '' was indeed the same Goddess as Frige, as both have been described as ''Goddess of Love'' and sometimes as wife of Woden (West Germanic form of Odin).
