In Irish mythology, Fódla or Fótla (modern spelling: Fódhla, Fodhla or Fóla), daughter of Delbáeth and Ernmas of the Tuatha Dé Danann, was one of the tutelary goddesses of Ireland.
With her sisters, Banba and Ériu, she was part of an important triumvirate of goddesses.
When the Milesians arrived from Spain, each of the three sisters asked the bard Amergin that her name be given to the country.
Ériu (Éire, and in the dative 'Éirinn', giving English 'Erin') seems to have won the argument, but the poets hold that all three were granted their wish, and thus 'Fódhla' is sometimes used as a literary name for Ireland, as is 'Banba'.
[2] According to Seathrún Céitinn she worshipped the Mórrígan, who is also named as a daughter of Ernmas.
