Meaning & History
Coventina was a Romano-British goddess of wells and springs. She is known from multiple inscriptions at one site in Northumberland county of England, an area surrounding a wellspring near Carrawburgh on Hadrian's Wall. She personified a holy spring that had healing powers. Her name is generally derived from Proto-Celtic *kom-men- "memory" and *ti-ni "to melt; to disappear".
