| rdfs:comment | - *Frijjō (given as "Frigg-Frija" when referring to a hypothesis of a shared origin) is the reconstructed name or epithet of a hypothesized Common Germanic love goddess giving rise to both Frigg and Freyja. The weekday Friday is named after the goddess, from the Old English frīgedæg, which is probably equivalent to the Latin dies veneris which is named for the goddess Venus.

| abstract | - *Frijjō (given as "Frigg-Frija" when referring to a hypothesis of a shared origin) is the reconstructed name or epithet of a hypothesized Common Germanic love goddess giving rise to both Frigg and Freyja. It is uncertain whether Frigg and Freyja share a common origin and to what extent they were similar in continental Germanic traditions. There is little evidence from the pre-Viking era and the arguments are largely based on linguistics and place-names. Due to linguistic variations between various branches of Germanic languages, where even a god that is clearly the same may be called by different-looking names, confusion about apparent cognates has not been conclusively resolved. The weekday Friday is named after the goddess, from the Old English frīgedæg, which is probably equivalent to the Latin dies veneris which is named for the goddess Venus.
