In Norse mythology, Barri is the place where Freyr and Gerðr are to consummate their union, as stated in the Skírnismál:Barri the grove is named, which we both know, the grove of tranquil paths. Nine nights hence, there to Niörd’s son Gerd will grant delight. —För Skirnis eðr Skirnismál (39), Thorpe's translation
