The Havfrue (literally "sea woman") is a prominent figure in Scandinavian folklore.
The Havfrue remains a popular subject in Scandinavian art and literature, embodying the region's deep connection with the sea.
The origins of the Havfrue (sea woman) in Scandinavian folklore are difficult to pinpoint exactly, but they can be traced back to at least the early medieval period and possibly earlier.
During the Viking Age (approximately 8th–11th centuries), Scandinavians were prolific seafarers.
The Havfrue begins to appear more explicitly in Scandinavian folklore during the medieval period, often influenced by the widespread European concept of mermaids that was flourishing in the Middle Ages.
Scandinavian ballads and oral traditions, some dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, include stories of sea maidens or similar beings.
Maren or Havfrue: Scandinavian folklore includes tales of Havfrue (sea women) who are part-human, part-fish beings associated with the ocean.
"They have been supposed by some," says Sir John Lubbock, to be Scandinavian, but no similar buildings exist in Norway, Sweden, or Denmark, so that this style of architecture is no doubt anterior to the arrival of the Northmen." I give above a picture of the Burgh or Broch of the little island of Moussa, in the Shetlands.

If they came "from the West" they could not have come from Ireland; and the Scandinavians may easily have mistaken Atlantean books and bells for Irish books and mass-bells.
The last thing a people forgets is the name of their god; we retain to this day, in the names of the days of the week, the designations of four Scandinavian gods and one Roman deity.

Tertullian in his De Baptismo says that they were promised in consequence "regeneration and the pardon of all their perjuries." The Scandinavian nations practised baptism of new-born children; and when we turn to Mexico and Peru we find infant baptism there as a solemn ceremonial, consisting of water sprinkling, the sign of the cross, and prayers for the washing away of sin (see Humboldt's Mexican Researches and Prescott's Mexico).

In the second map period no pure Rmoahals were left on the then reduced mother-continent, but the northern promontory of the continent then rising on the west was occupied by them, as well as the Greenland cape[35] already mentioned, and the western shores of the great Scandinavian island.

We also find them occupying the eastern shores of the Scandinavian island, while numbers of them sailed across the ocean, rounded the coast of Africa, and reached India.
A reference to the early inhabitants of our own islands may[41] appropriately be made here, for it was in the early Akkadian days, about 100,000 years ago, that the colony of Initiates who founded Stonehenge landed on these shores—"these shores" being, of course, the shores of the Scandinavian part of the continent of Europe, as shown in Map No.
Notwithstanding the frequent and various relations with Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, we do not find any traces of acquaintance with the Northern or Scandinavian Mythology.
