Onagh

Name Onagh (Oo-nuh)

In real world mythology, Onagh is one of the names for the wife of faerie king Finvarra.

According to the wiki: Finvarra "is the king of the Daoine Sidhe of western Ireland in Irish folklore. In some legends, he is also the ruler of the dead.[5] Finvarra is a benevolent figure, associated with horses, who ensures good harvests and rewards mortals with riches.[6]" Also considered a chess master?

Also according to the wiki: "Finvarra has a beautiful queen named Onagh or Una,[13] or other versions, Nuala." He's known for also taking human lovers.

As such, I declare my retelling with dragons is one of a polyamorous trio and that Onagh and Una are the same, but Nuala is a separate dragon entirely. All three of them being a triangular polycule of mates, with the occasional branch to others with permission from the other two. The above will be considered as inspiration for the eventual lore of all 3 in this trio. I especially love connecting my veilspuns to faeries and love the additional connection to horses because imo, veilspuns are the "my little pony" of the dragon world lol. Pretty pretty pony dragons.

Name can mean unity, purity, or lamb (prosperity and rebirth). It is a Celtic name.

"The Celts have always been fond of sheep. Today, Ireland considers the sheep an important domestic livestock staple representing abundance in the land. By extension, the Celtic culture considers the lamb a symbol of prosperity and rebirth. These representations remain true to many Irish and descendants of the Celts."

According to the internet Caoimhe (kee-va) means "gentle, beautiful, or precious."
