Etymology
Hariasa’s name may be related to the Old Norse Valkyrie name Herja, itself deriving from the Proto-Germanic *harja or “army” which would suggest that she too is a war goddess. It is also possible that it derives from the Proto-Germanic *hera or “hair,” which could indicate a significant physical characteristic of the goddess.
