Jörð
In Norse mythology, Jörð (or Jarð in Old East Norse; Earth, sometimes Anglicized Jord or Jorth) is a goddess and the personification of the Earth. She is identified with Fjörgyn and Hlôdyn (Bellinger 1997:235).Jörð is one of Odin's spouses and the mother of Thor (Gylfaginning 9). Fjörgyn, also known as Hlôdyn "hearth" (Völuspá 47), is the mother of Thor by Odin (Völuspá 48), and by extension, Meili (Hárbarðsljóð 9). She is daughter of Annar and Nótt and sister of Auð and Dagr. Otherwise she is essentially unknown. Some think she may simply have been an alias of Odin's wife Frigg. In the Skáldskaparmál, however, she is called the rival of FriggRindr and Gunnlod.

Jord
Jord (Icelandic, Scandinavian) Earth; in Norse myths the daughter of Night (nott). The mystic symbology of the Edda calls Night a daughter of the primeval frostgiant from whose substance the worlds were formed, and a sister of the sustaining power Trudgalmer, whom she bore a son, Udr (rich, prolific, devastating), indicating Bergelmir, the end and fruitage of a life cycle. Her second marriage to one of the creative deities produced the earth, while a third union with Delling (dawn) made her the mother of bright Day.
