Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In Irish mythology, Danu is the mother goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Though primarily seen as an ancestral figure, some Victorian sources also associate her with the land. The theonym is of Proto-Indo-European age, and seems to have denoted a water goddess in origin. A goddess Dānu is attested in the Rigveda, and also the river names Danube, Dniestr, Dniepr and Don derive from the name. The Rigvedic Danu was the mother of a race of Asuras called the Danavas. A shortened form of the name appears to have been Dā.
