frodi

Frodi is a masculine given name of Nordic origin, derived from the Old Norse Fróði. The root is commonly linked to meanings such as wise, learned, or renowned, though exact etymology is uncertain. In Norse and early Danish tradition, Fróði is the name of a semi-legendary king of Denmark whose reign is associated with a celebrated era of prosperity and peace, sometimes referred to as Fróði's Peace.

Today, Frodi is used as a given name in Nordic countries, though it remains relatively uncommon. In Iceland, the form Fróði is more common in historical and literary contexts, while Frodi appears in modern usage without diacritics. In Denmark and Norway, Fróði remains the standard spelling in formal or mythological references, with Frodi used in international contexts or contemporary naming.

Beyond its use as a given name, Frodi occasionally appears in fiction or media as a Nordic character name, reflecting its mythic and historic associations. The name is not tied to a widely known contemporary public figure.
