Gersemi ( Old Norse "treasure") is the daughter of the fertility-goddess Freyja in Norse mythology. [1] She could be the same figure as Hnoss, another daughter of Freyja. [2]
The Old Norse name Gersemi means 'treasure', something which is considered precious or valuable. [1] [3] It is most likely a derivative of the unattested Old Norse noun *gersamr, compared with the Icelandic gersemi or the Old Swedish gärsimi ('treasure'), and with the Danish gjørsum (a special fine imposed on a manslaughterer).
