Etymology: Delamarre (2003) says that the root of Brigantia is *bhergh-, meaning eminent and or high. Therefore Brigantia, containing the Gaulish root Brigant- is the Goddess most high or most eminent. The root comes to denote nobility, kings and those of high rank in later languages (Delamarre, 2003). Brigantia and the Brigantes: Beck (2013) argues that Brigantia would not be of the Brigantes, due to the linguistic evolution of the word, as the development follows *bhrgh -nt-ih2 > *Brígəntī > *Brígenti as opposed to *Brígəntī-ā, where Brigántia may be a redetermined participle. Beck (2013), therefore, argues that the connection between the Brigantes and Brigantia is not etymological. Instead, they were adopted as tutelary deities later on, perhaps due to the phonetic similarities between the tribe’s name and Brigantia’s name. Koch (2003) and others suggest that due to the tribal links of the northern England Brigantes and the Irish Brigantes that there must be a shared cult of Brigantia, who became Brigit in Ireland. However, Beck (2013) disputes this as linguistically Brigit is more archaic due to the name following the IE feminine particle *-ih2 , but states that they are still related names. https://albionandbeyond.com/nodens daily 0.75 2025-04-21 https://albionandbeyond.com/alator daily 0.75 2022-03-04 https://albionandbeyond.com/belatucadrus daily 0.75 2021-10-17 https://albionandbeyond.com/cunomaglus daily 0.75 2021-10-17 https://albionandbeyond.com/ialonus-contrebis daily 0.75 2022-03-04 https://albionandbeyond.com/the-tribes-of-albion daily 0.75 2021-10-17 https://albionandbeyond.com/religious-and-political-structures-of-britian daily 0.75 2021-10-17 https://albionandbeyond.com/religious-influences-in-britain daily 0.75 2021-10-17 https://albionandbeyond.com/callirius daily 0.75 2022-03-04 https://albionandbeyond.com/interpretatio-britanna daily 0.75 2022-02-04 https://albionandbeyond.com/sulis-minerva daily 0.75 2022-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61615e57176fb03ff7abe526/d623e583-9f35-4158-997c-ff0d6631295e/HOMEPAGE4+slider_0.jpg Sulis Minerva - Sulis Etymology: Sulis’ name comes from the root suli- meaning “good view/sight” (Delamarre, 2003). Sulis is then “She of Good Sight”. The root suli- is associated with the older root *siiljel-I *syel- meaning the sun, which associates good sight with the sun through the idea of the sun being the ‘all-seeing eye’ (Koch, 2006). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61615e57176fb03ff7abe526/ba44ceda-9103-433c-8cb7-67ffdef333ae/Screenshot+2022-02-03+152401.png Sulis Minerva - Make it stand out The Four Seasons Facade, with Luna where She was historically.

The flower Coventina holds may be that of the wild musk flower which grows in Her well during the summer (Tomlin 2018, p. 329).
