==In popular culture== Frigga (sometimes called Freyja) is a fictional character appearing in Marvel Comics starting in 1963. The character in particular is based on the goddess Freyja of Norse mythology.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://theculturetrip.com/europe/norway/articles/how-pop-culture-revived-norse-mythology/?amp=1 |title=Culturetrip:How pop culture revived Norse mythology |date=17 May 2018 |access-date=22 July 2022 |archive-date=31 January 2022 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220131003552/https://theculturetrip.com/europe/norway/articles/how-pop-culture-revived-norse-mythology/?amp=1 }}</ref> Starting in the early 1990s, derivatives of ''Freyja'' began to appear as a given name for girls.{{sfnp|Näsström|1995|p=22}} According to the Norwegian name database from the Central Statistics Bureau, around 500 women are listed with the first name ''Frøya'' (the modern Norwegian spelling of the goddess's name) in the country.
