Jörd, translates from Old Norse as “Earth”, she was also called Fjörgyn, or Hlódyn. In Norse mythology, Jörd was a giantess, who was mother of Thor, and mistress of the god Odin. Her name is connected with that of the Lithuanian thunder god Perkun; both are thought to be related to Old High German forha, or “oak”.
