The prose introduction to Lokasenna and Snorri's list of kennings state that Ægir is also known as Gymir, who is Gerðr's father, but this is evidently an erroneous interpretation of kennings in which different giant-names are used interchangeably.

In both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, Gerðr is described as the daughter of Gymir and the mountain jötunn Aurboða.

( In continuity, the prose introduction says: " Ægir, also named Gymir, had made ale for the Æsir, when he had received the great kettle of which was told " ( see Hymiskviða ).

Gymir has usually been interpreted as a sea-giant, but Magnus Olsen regarded him as an earth giant in connection with his interpretation of Skírnismál in light of the hieros gamos and he has also been seen as a chthonic deity.

In the Prose Edda, Snorri Sturluson gave this information in Gylfaginning but in a list of kennings in Skáldskaparmál equates Gymir with the god and giant Ægir, citing a verse by Hofgarða-Refr Gestsson where the kenning in question probably simply substitutes one giant-name for another.

An exchange occurs between Freyr and Skírnir in verse, where Freyr tells Skírnir that he has seen a wonderous girl with shining arms at the home of ( her father ) Gymir, yet that the gods and elves do not wish for the two to be together:

Gerðr, the daughter of Gymir bids him enter the hall ; without further ado, Skírnir tries to woo Gerðr on Freyr's behalf, offering first gifts then threats ( in other versions Skírnir does not use threats but manages to successfully woo Gerðr ).

In both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, Freyr sees Gerðr from a distance, becomes deeply lovesick at the sight of her shimmering beauty, and has his servant Skírnir go to Jötunheimr ( where Gerðr and her father Gymir reside ) to gain her love.

Skírnir duly fetches up in Jötunheimr, at the hall of the giant Gymir.

In Norse mythology, Gymir was a giant whose daughter, Gerðr, married the god Freyr.

According to the Eddic poems Skírnismál and Hyndluljóð, Gymir and his wife Aurboða are Gerð's parents.
