Hier zijn de persoonsgegevens van Hnoss:
Hnoss is de bevallige dochter van Freya en Ódr. Volgens de Gylfaginning en het Skaldskaparmál is zij zo mooi dat al wat mooi en kostbaar is met haar naam hnoss genoemd wordt.
De naam Hnoss is Oudnoords en betekent kostbaarheid. De uitspraak is ongeveer [hnosː]?, dus met een hoorbare h- of ch-klank en een lange s.
The Old Norse term Hnoss has been translated in a variety of ways by scholars and folklorists. The Goddess Myths of the Great Mother claims that Hnoss' name was drawn from the word "Gem," in which she is described as sparkling like a diamond. Given Hnoss is the daughter of the most beautiful goddess Freya, it should come as no surprise that jewels bear her name.
The Roles of the Northern Goddess[3] similarly claims that Hnoss' name derives from a great beauty whose name may be "used for treasure in poetry" or simply "treasure." This translation shares semantic and etymological similarities with the Icelandic word hnoss (meaning "nipper") as well as the Old Danish words noss (meaning "sweetheart") and nusse (meaning "infant"). In the Prose Edda, Snorri Sturluson states that beautiful things were called hnossir (Old Norse: 'treasures') after her name.
Despite of all various interpretations, The Concept of The Goddess, states that Hnoss "bears her mother's eyelash-rain," which translates to "there is gold on the precious object."
