Litavis
Litavis—also known as Litauis,〔Fitzpatrick-Matthews, Keith. "Brittany/Llydaw," ''The Cyberhome of Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews''. 26 May 2007 .〕 Litaui, Litauia,〔Koch, John T. "(Ériu, Alba, and Letha: When Was a Language Ancestral to Gaelic First Spoken in Ireland? )" ''Emania: Bulletin of the Navan Research Group'' 9 (1991): 17–27.〕〔Gwinn, Christopher. "Re: Litavi." ''LISTSERV 15.0: OLD-IRISH-L Archives''. 31 Dec. 2000, 13:48:19 −0500. L-Soft. 26 May 2007 .〕 and Llydaw〔Anwyl, Edward, M.A.. ''(Celtic Religion in Pre-Christian Times )''. London: Archibald Constable & Co. Ltd., 1906. “Chapter 5: The Humanized Gods of Celtic Religion” .〕—is a goddess in Celtic mythology worshiped by the ancient Gauls. Her name is found in inscriptions found at Aignay-le-Duc and Mâlain of the Côte-d'Or, France, where she is invoked along with the Gallo-Roman god Mars Cicolluis in a context which suggests that she might have been his consort.〔Evans, Dyfed Lloyd. "Litavis: A Gaulish Goddess (She Who Feeds)." ''Celtnet: Nemeton''. 26 May 2007 .〕 Also, a Latin dedicatory inscription from Narbonne (which was in the far south of Gaul), France, bears the words “MARTI CICOLLUI ET LITAVI” ("To Mars Cicolluis and Litavis").〔〔
==Etymology==
''Letavia'' or ''Letauia'' may be derived from a Proto-Indo-European root
*peltHa- "to spread out flat", via a zero-grade, suffixed formation,
*PltHa-wiH, meaning "The Broad One".〔Koch, John, "Celtic Culture: A Historical Encyclopedia", ABC-CLIO, 2006, p. 1159〕 The name may thus be comparable to the Vedic earth goddess “Prthvi” and the Greek place name ''Plataia'', suggesting that Letavis is an earth goddess or divinisation of the landscape.
