From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Celtic mythology, Agrona was a goddess of strife and war worshipped in Britain. The river Aeron in Wales comes from her name.
[edit] Etymology
This theonym appears to be derived from Proto-Celtic *Agronā. The name literally means "carnage" (q.v. [1] [2] [3]).
