About the name Freya
The most famous of the Norse goddesses: Freyja, keeper of the runes, owner of the falcon cloak, and the deity of love, birth and death — she claims half of those who die, which makes her both the goddess of passion and the one who chooses who is taken.
Her name is still the root of the English word Friday (Freyja’s day). Freya entered English as a given name in the nineteenth century and has since become a standard in Britain, Scandinavia and Australia alike.
The Chinese pair keeps her two gifts: 芙, a flower that blooms for a day only, and 瑞, the jade tablet the court reads for a good omen.
The hibiscus — 蓉 and 木芙 of the Song of Chu, a flower that opens for a single day.
The character itself: The hibiscus. Two Chuci poems take their titles from it — 芙蕖 and 芙蓉 — and the second is the opening line of Li Bai’s most famous drinking song: 清水出芙蓉, natural beauty on a bare stem. The petal fell at dawn, which is why the flower is also the short-lived beautiful thing in Chinese poetry. Full 芙 page →
The jade tablet the court reads for a good omen; by extension, all good fortune.
The character itself: 玉 the jade over 山 and 而: the jade tokens, matched halves, by which the state’s credentialed its word. An auspice the empire could hold in its hand — 瑞 is a sign and a key in one. Full 瑞 page →
Two-character seal: a day-opening flower and a jade of good omen.
Freya in Chinese: questions
How do you write Freya in Chinese characters?
Freya is written 芙瑞 in Mandarin (fú ruì) — one character for the surname 芙 and one for the given name. The characters are chosen to carry the sound and the sense of Freya rather than to transliterate it letter by letter, which is how Chinese names are actually made. On this page the seal is carved in the Zhongshan King (中山王) bronze-inscription seal script, with the Academia Sinica Chongxi Small Seal (崇羲篆體) filling any character the main font lacks.
What does the Chinese name 芙瑞 mean?
芙瑞 breaks down as 芙 (fú) — The hibiscus — 蓉 and 木芙 of the Song of Chu, a flower that opens for a single day; 瑞 (ruì) — The jade tablet the court reads for a good omen; by extension, all good fortune. The seal note we would put under it: Two-character seal: a day-opening flower and a jade of good omen.
How is 芙瑞 pronounced?
Pinyin: fú ruì — 芙 is tone 2 (a rising pitch, like the start of a question); 瑞 is tone 4 (a sharp fall, like a full stop). Mandarin has four tones plus a neutral tone, and getting them wrong is the most common mistake Western speakers make with Chinese names — the seal itself is unaffected, since the carving is of the written form.
Why use the character 瑞 for a name?
Because names in Chinese are chosen, not inherited by sound. 瑞 (ruì) reads the jade tablet the court reads for a good omen; by extension, all good fortune — and its own history runs: 玉 the jade over 山 and 而: the jade tokens, matched halves, by which the state’s credentialed its word. An auspice the empire could hold in its hand — 瑞 is a sign and a key in one.
Which other names use the same characters as 芙瑞?
