Encyclopedia > Banba

In Irish mythology, Banba, sometimes spelled Banbha, was the patron spirit of Ireland, wife of King MacCuill, and a goddess of war and fertility.


With her sisters (daughters of Fiachna), Fodla and Ériu, she was part of an important triumvirate of goddesses, the first settlers of Ireland.


Banba is used as a name for Ireland in poetry. When the Celts arrived from Spain the three sisters asked that their name be given to the country. Eriu( Eire) won the argument.


Other spelling: Banbha.
