Etymology 2
, from a reconstructed nominative form of the genitive (also spelled Donand or Danand).

In particular, Danann is attested in the term, which is typically translated "tribe of Danu" but used as the collective name for certain Irish gods (or, more prosaically, the people of a particular wave of immigration to Ireland, in the traditional history).

The etymology is controversial and has been debated since the 19th century. Some scholars identify Danu with the goddess, perhaps as a contraction of día Anu ("goddess Anu").
