I can't lay my hands on the book I read about it in, but the links below speak to it...

QUOTE: One explanation for the confusion of Frigg with Freya is that the latter was identical with the former amongst the Germans but a separate divinity in Scandinavia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freyja
QUOTE: ....Freyja and the goddess Frigg ultimately stem from a single goddess common among the Germanic peoples
I can't recall the name of the book, durn it, but I do recall reading about the history and evolution of the Norse deities, and the 'branching' of a single goddess into 2.
