Béḃinn (/ˈbeɪviːn, ˈbeɪvɪn/) or Bé Binn, in modern orthography Béibhinn,[1] is an early Irish personal and mythological name.
[2] In eighteenth-century Scottish writer James Macpherson's epic Ossian poems, the name appears as Vevina.
She is mentioned in multiple sources as the mother of Connacht hero Fráech, the main character in the Táin Bó Fraích.
[2] In the Fenian Cycle of Irish tales, Béḃinn is "a beautiful giantess of aristocratic bearing" who seeks protection from the Fianna when a cruel giant pursues her.
[6] The name Béḃinn and its variants is quite common in records from early Irish history, and was borne by historical as well as mythical figures, including a number of queens and abbesses.
