Goddess of fertility and the earth
In Roman mythology, Fauna was the female counterpart to Faunus, representing fertility, forests, and wildlife. The name is etymologically linked to the Latin word for 'to favor' or 'to befriend,' suggesting a protective nature over the animal kingdom. It is often used today to refer collectively to the animal life of a particular region or period.
