Mugain

Mugain is a female given name of Irish origin. It is relatively uncommon in modern usage. The name's meaning is generally interpreted as "little servant" or "maid." In Irish mythology, Mugain is the name of several figures, including:

• Mugain, mother of Conall Cernach: She is a significant figure in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, known as the mother of the famous warrior Conall Cernach. The circumstances of Conall's birth are often described as unusual or miraculous.

• Other figures: While the mother of Conall Cernach is the most prominent Mugain in Irish mythology, the name also appears associated with other less well-known characters or figures. Due to variations in sources and historical interpretations, details regarding these other figures may be less consistent.

The name's connection to Irish mythology lends it a sense of history and cultural significance, although its infrequent modern usage suggests that its popularity has waned over time.
