The goddess Epona was revered and worshiped by the ancient Celtic people as a loving protector of horses, donkeys and other animals. Commonly represented as a horse figure, a mare and foal or as a woman on horseback, she was also a goddess of fertility, re-birth and abundance. Although originally a Celtic goddess, she was [eventually] accepted by [the Romans] who saw her more as a protector of their cavalry.

Etymology of the name Epona:
The name Epona comes from the later Iron Age [language] of Gaulish. Gaulish was a Celtic language spoken throughout most of [the northwest] area of continental Europe. In the Gaulish language, Epos meant horse and Epa was the feminine equivalent that meant a female horse, also known as a mare. The component of “on” found in the name Epona was often found in the names of Gaulish and Gallo-Roman goddesses and gods such as Matrona, Divona and Carnonos. So, by putting these together, the meaning of the name Epona is “divine mare” or “she who is like a mare”.
