Anu (deity)
:''Not to be confused with Annan.''
In Irish mythology, Anu (or Ana, sometimes given as Anann or Anand) is the name of a goddess. She may be a goddess in her own right,〔MacKillop, James (1998) ''Dictionary of Celtic Mythology'' Oxford: Oxford University Press ISBN 0-19-280120-1 pp.10, 16, 128〕 or an alternate name for Danu. In the ''Lebor Gabála Érenn'', "Anand" is given as an alternate name for Morrígu.〔R. A. Stewart Macalister. ''Lebor Gabála Érenn''. Part IV. Irish Texts Society, Dublin, 1941. § VII, First Redaction.〕 While an Irish goddess, in parts of Britain a similar figure is referred to as "Gentle Annie," in an effort to avoid offense, a tactic which is similar to referring to the fairies as "The Good People".〔(Black Annis, Gentle Annie )〕 As her name is often conflated with a number of other goddesses, it is not always clear which figure is being referred to if the name is taken out of context.〔
