In Norse mythology, Sága or Saga is a goddess of the Æsir and maybe another name for Frigg. The name could mean "seeing one" or (less probable) "announcer". She is mentioned in the Grímnismál.

Sökkvabekkr heitir inn fjórði,
en þar svalar knegu
unnir yfir glymja;
þar þau Óðinn ok Sága
drekka um alla daga
glöð ór gullnum kerum. Grímnismál 7, Guðni Jónsson's edition
Sökkvabekk the fourth is named
oe’r which
the gelid waves resound;
Odin and Saga there,
joyful each day,
from golden beakers quaff. Grímnismál 7, Thorpe's translation

Sökkvabekkr means "hall of sunk benches".
