弗雷娅

The female name Freya is rendered in Chinese as 弗雷娅. These characters are chosen for their sound, not their meaning — together they approximate how Freya is pronounced. In pinyin (the standard romanization of Mandarin) this reads Fú léi yà.

Character-by-character breakdown

In Chinese, Freya is written with 3 characters, each standing for one syllable of the sound: 弗 (Fú), 雷 (léi), 娅 (yà). Each character here is a phonetic unit — picked for how it sounds, not for what it means — so read together they echo Freya rather than spelling out a literal meaning.
