In Irish mythology, Abhean (Template:IPA), son of Bec-Felmas, was a poet of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and in particular of Lugh. He was killed by Óengus in front of Midir, according to a poem by Fland Mainistreach in Lebor Gabála Érenn.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

Etymology

[edit]

The reconstructed Proto-Celtic lexica at the universities of Leiden<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and Wales<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> suggest that this name may be derived from Proto-Celtic *Ad-bej-ānos, literally meaning 'at-striking-related-one' and possibly denoting the concept of 'harp-strumming'.
