In Celtic mythology and especially Gaul, Aveta or Lyregwyn was a goddess of female-fertility, childbirth and midwives, also associated with all fresh water.

Aveta is known mainly from clay figurines found at Toulon-sur-Allier, France. The models show the goddess with infants at the breast and apparently she is concerned with nursing mothers. The figure is often accompanied by a small lap-dog
