Question on names?

Question

I cannot find the meanings of these names anywhere, does anyone have any information as to what they mean...

Dahut
Ipona

Answer 1

Dahut and Ahes are two variations on the same name, oddly enough.
Here's some mythology info regarding this character of Celtic Myth:

As for Ipona...
"It was set up for you, Sacred Mother.
It was set out for you, Atanta.
This sacrificial animal was purchased for you, horse goddess, Eponina.
So that it may satisfy, horse goddess Potia; we pay you,
Atanta, so that you are satisfied; we dedicate it to you.
By this sacrificial animal, swift Ipona, with a filly, goddess Epotia
for a propitious lustration they bind you, Catona of battle,
with a filly, for the cleansing of riding horses
which they cleanse for you, Dibonia.
This swift mare, this cauldron, this smithwork,
beside fat and this cauldron,
mind you, moreover with a filly, Epotia, noble and good Vovesia."

This dedication was found in 1887 at Rom (Deux-Sevres) on a thin lead plate in latin script dated to around the first century BCE. Dr Garrett Olmsted, has made the most recent translation of the inscription.

(see http://www.druidry.org/obod/deities/epona.html )

Thus, Ipona is Epona, the Horse Goddess of the Celts.

Hope this helps!
