Ériu
Ériu, the eponymous matron goddess of Ireland, was the daughter of Delbáeth and Ernmas of the Tuatha Dé Danann. The English name for Ireland comes from the name Ériu and the Germanic (Old Norse or Old English) word land. Ériu is often interpreted as a modern-day personification of Ireland, and her modern name is often modified to Éire or Erin to suit a modern form.
