Njord (Old Norse: Njörðr) is a Vanir god associated with the sea, winds, and fertility in Norse mythology. He is often depicted as the father of the deities Freyr and Freyja, and is considered a major figure among the Vanir, a group of gods associated with fertility, wisdom, and the ability to see the future. Njord's name may be translated to Hebrew as נירד (Nird). In Old English, he is known as Neorþ, and in Old High German, he is referred to as Njorðr. Njord is often associated with the sea and is said to have the power to calm or stir the waters. He is also linked to wealth and prosperity, as the sea was a vital resource for trade and sustenance in Norse society. Njord's dual role as a god of both the sea and fertility highlights the interconnectedness of these elements in Norse cosmology.
