Celtic Mythology

ISŪRA seems to have been the ancient Celtic name for the River Ure that flowed across the land of the Brigantes tribe. The settlement of Isurium Brigantum, now Boroughbridge, an important base for Queen Cartimandua’s people, might have been named for the river. The meaning of the name is debatable. Ūra, the name of the River Eure in Gaul, may have literally meant ‘wild aurochs cow’ and the name is comparable with that of the Irish Boyne-goddess Boínn. Is- seems to have meant ‘ire’.
