In Welsh mythology, Gwenn Teir Bronn was the patron goddess of mothers.
[edit]
Etymology
This theonym appears to be derived from Proto-Celtic *Wenā Tigernā Brondāj meaning "love, the queen of the breast" (q.v. [1] [2] [3]). The Romano-British form of this Proto-Celtic theonym is likely to have been *Vena Tigerna Brondae (q.v. [4] [5] [6] [7]).
