Iouga is a suggested reconstruction of the name of a Romano-British goddess known from a single fragmentary inscription on an altar-stone at York. The name appears as ''Ioug()'' or ''Iou()'' on the damaged stone, which reads: :NVMINIB AVG ET DEAE IOV() :SIVS AEDEM PRO PARTE D()〔''RIB'' 656. The stone is now at the Yorkshire Museum.〕〔Theresia Pantzer (2008). ("RIB 656" ).〕 :To the ''numina'' of the Emperor(s) and to the goddess Iou(), ()sius (built/restored) a (half?) part of a temple. Reading the fragmentary name as ''Ioug()'', Roger Wright proposed the reconstructed form ''Iouga'', which he linked with the Proto-Celtic '' *jugā'' meaning 'yoke'. However, Theresia Pantzer, reviewing the stone, suggests that what Wright had perceived as traces of a letter ''g'' was merely "damage to the stone rather than part of a letter".〔 The goddess is otherwise unknown.〔Colin Smith.
