One of the Vanir and the god of seamanship and sailing in Norse mythology.

His dwelling is said to be Noatun 'Ship-town'. Njord is also a god closely associated with fertility, as are the Vanir in general.
In the Viking mythology, god of trade, sailing and wealth. Earlier probably a fertility god but replaced with Frej. Father to Frej and Freja.
