MADDERAKKA
Also known as MADDER-AKKA, MADERAKKA
MADDERAKKA: The Mother Goddess of Childbirth. The all-over Mother Goddess responsible for baby welfare from the womb onwards — or should it be outwards?
Helping with the delivery service are her three daughters, SARAKKA, JUKSAKKA and UKSAKKA, who help choose baby names and prevent nappy rash. And she is married to MADDERATCHA who doles out the souls for the little darlings.
Together, they all help when it comes to inspiration for baby names. (Which one of them was responsible for the name Acker Bilk?)
We suspect MADDERAKKA may also be related to AKKA, the wife of UKKO. But 'akka' means simply female, so our speculation continues...
