Sinann, Sinand, Sinend, Sinent, Sinainn, Sionnainn, Sionann. Goddess of the River
Shannon and granddaughter of
Lir (2), the sea-god. In her best-known story Sinann goes to
Connla's Well (sometimes the Well of Cóelrind) seeking esoteric
knowledge. Apparently because she has violated certain protocols, Sinann is denied knowledge. Instead, the well in its anger rises up and drowns her, her body washing up on the banks of a river, the Shannon, which is then named for her. A nearly identical story is told about
Boand [the
Boyne] at the Well of
Segais, which may be identified with Connla's Well.
