Tricoria

Da http://www.celtnet.org.uk/gods_t/tricoria.html :


Tricoria is a goddess known from a single inscription (CIL XII 4225) found at Béziers, Languedoc-Rousillon, France. Unfortunately, apart from the name, little is known about the attributes of this goddess. However, the similarity of the theonym with that of the tribe of the Tricorii of the Narbonne region of France strongly indicates that she was the tutelary goddess of this tribe.

As a result the relationship between the goddess and the tribe can only be determined by examination of the meaning of the theonym. Etymologically, this goddess' name is fairly simple to interpret. Employing the reconstructed proto-Celtic lexicon the first part of the name can be derived from *tri- (three) and the second element is related to *koryo- (troop, tribe). Thus the goddess' name can be interpreted as 'She of the Three Tribes' and relates directly to the meaning of the tribal name Tricorii (people of the three tribes).
