In Etruscan mythology, Februus was the god of the dead and purification. The month of February was named after him. He may have become Febris, Roman god of malaria.

The History of Mardi Gras in New Orleans (766 words)
Februus was a god the Greeks "borrowed" from the conquered Sabines, and a very popular god indeed.
Eventually, Februus was promoted to King of the Underworld and immediately changed his name to Pluto.
Much later, when the Roman and Greek traditons began to mix, Februus became Juno Februa, and was now a goddess of love and, of course, fertility.
