Has anyone looked into this being possibly related to Freyja, Fryans and the Frisians?

A very qualified shamanic type person I know referenced the Friars, Friar Tuck and the Fryas as related to Freyja… it makes sense in terms of the words being related so it would probably make sense that it would be connected!!!

Hello. The official etymology for "friar" is that it comes from the Latin word for a brother. It seems to be right, as monks are called brother in english, the same way a priest is called father.
