📖 Über Neasa

Neasa ist die irischsprachige Form von Nessa, tief verwurzelt in der Mythologie des Ulster-Zyklus — Irlands großem Heldenepos. Ihre berühmteste Trägerin, Königin Neasa, war eine kluge und politisch brillante Mutter, die durch List den Thron von Ulster für ihren Sohn Conchobar sicherte. Der Name leitet sich vermutlich von einem altirischen Wort für 'rau' oder 'unbezähmbar' ab. Heute ist Neasa ein stilles, kraftvolles gälisches Erbe — besonders in irischsprachigen Gemeinschaften geschätzt.
