fullur

Fullur is a term that can refer to several different concepts, primarily in the context of Norse mythology and, more colloquially, as a given name.

In Norse mythology, Fulla is a goddess associated with the earth and the lady of the earth. She is often depicted as a handmaiden of Frigg, the wife of Odin. Fulla is known for her wisdom and is sometimes described as carrying Frigg's sacred caskets, suggesting a role in guardianship or management of important items. Her exact parentage and role within the Æsir pantheon are not extensively detailed in the surviving Eddic literature, leading to some scholarly debate regarding her significance. She is mentioned in the Prose Edda, where she is described as one of Frigg's attendants.

Beyond mythology, "Fullur" is also a given name, particularly in Iceland. As a personal name, it is not directly tied to mythological meanings but is part of the Icelandic naming tradition. Individuals named Fullur would be part of contemporary Icelandic society, unrelated to their namesake's mythical origins unless intentionally chosen.

The term can also appear in other contexts, sometimes as a surname or as a word in other languages with different meanings. However, the most prominent association remains with the Norse goddess.
