Beyla (Old Norse: [ˈbœylɑ]) is one of Freyr's servants along with her husband, Byggvir, in Norse mythology. Beyla is mentioned in stanzas 55, 66, and the prose introduction to the Poetic Edda poem Lokasenna. Since this is the only mention of Beyla, scholars have turned to the etymology of Beyla's name for additional information about her.[1] However, the meaning of her name is unclear and her name has been proposed as related to "cow," "bean," or "bee."[1]
