Bára

"Wave." A billow maiden, one of the nine daughters of the sea god Ægir and his wife Rán. She is sometimes mentioned instead of Dröfn. Her name is found in a stanza by Þorleikr fagri, and quoted by Snorri Sturluson in Skáldskaparmál:

The sea walls, and the Wave-Borne

Bears bright froth o'er the red wood

Where gapes the Roller's Brown Ox

With mouth gold-ornamented.
