Editing Danu (Irish goddess) (section)

===Welsh parallels===
She has possible parallels with the Welsh legendary figure [[Dôn]] in the medieval tales of the ''[[Mabinogion]]'', whom most modern scholars consider to be a mythological [[mother goddess]].<ref>{{harvnb|Ó hÓgáin|1999|p=65}}</ref> This may be supported by theories that Dôn's name may also come from a root referring to rivers.<ref name=":0" /> This connection also supports the theory that the gods of skill associated with Danu are Goibhniu and his two brothers, as one of Dôn's offspring is Gofannon, the Welsh equivalent of Goibhniu.<ref name=":1" />

However, [[Dôn]]'s gender is not specified in the ''[[Mabinogion]]'', and some medieval Welsh antiquarians presumed Dôn to be male.<ref>{{harvnb|Bartrum|1993|pp=230-231}}</ref>

Dôn's divine offspring include [[Gofannon]], the Welsh equivalent of Goibniu.<ref name=":0" />
