Tamesis is the Celtic Goddess of fresh water. She gave her name to the River Thames—it was common for the Celts to have a deity for each particular river or body of water. She is said to wear a green cloak. Tamesis’s name, which means “dark flow,” is also seen as Temesia or Temesis.

It’s very fascinating to find out the reasons behind all the weird names still all over Europe today…it’s like receiving a hello from our ancestors.
