In Norse mythology, Sessrumnir was Freya's hall in the Folkvang. Her half of the Einherjar live in Sessrumnir.

Freyja.com (1555 words)
Freyja owns and operates her own hall named Sessrumnir in a place named Folkvangr, where some of Her worshippers shall go to dine with her when they die.
Most accept this to mean "The-Many-Seats" for it is also a known kenning for a ship, but the sessrumnir does not include a plural for "seats" so the ship is named "The-Roomy-Seat" as well.
The word "sess" may also be used to refer a 'situation', and since one is the root for the other, it makes perfect sense.
