Umay
Umay (also known as Umai; in Old Turkic: 10px10px10px, Kazakh: ''Ұмай ана'', Russian: ''Ума́й'' or ''Ымай'' ) is the goddess of fertility〔 〕 and virginity in Turkic mythology and Tengriism and as such related to women, mothers and children. Umay resembles earth-mother goddesses found in various other world religions. ==Etymology== In Mongolian, ''Umai'' means 'womb' or 'uterus'. The earth was considered a "mother" symbolically. The Turkic root ''umāy'' originally meant 'placenta, afterbirth', and this word was used as the name for the goddess whose function was to look after women and children, possibly because the placenta was thought to have magic qualities. Literally in the Mongolian language, "eje" or "eej" means "mother," and in Old Turkic, the similar word ''eçe'' also means 'mother'.
