A title that turned into a name
Freyja in Old Norse is not originally a personal name at all but a common noun meaning lady or mistress, used of the goddess in the same way that the related Freyr means lord. Norse settlement left the word in northern English dialects, and the modern given name is a nineteenth and twentieth-century revival rather than a continuous tradition. It is sixth in England and Wales and much rarer in the United States.
Two heavy consonants and three light vowels
F is 6, R is 9, E is 5, Y is 7 and A is 1. Twenty-eight folds through 10 to 1, which takes two steps rather than the usual one. F and R together are 15, more than half the name, and they fold to 6. The vowel side is where Y changes column: the soul cipher treats it as a vowel worth 5, so E at 3, Y at 5 and A at 1 give exactly 9. Nine is the largest single digit, reached here without any reduction at all.
Is Freyja spelled with a J the same?
No. Adding a J puts one more into the total, and because the soul cipher counts J as a vowel it lands in the vowel column too.
Why does the Expression take two folding steps?
Twenty-eight reduces to ten, which is still two digits, so it reduces again to one. Most totals reach a single digit in one step.
Does Freya relate to Friday?
The day is named for a Norse goddess, though which one is disputed. Either way the etymology has no bearing on the five letters counted here.
