Umay
Umay (also known as Eje) is the goddess of the earth and fertility in Turkic shamanism. Umay is similar in many ways to earth-mother goddesses found in various other world religions.Umay and Eje (Ece) are rarely used female names in the Republic of Turkey. In Turkic mythology, Umay is the female goddess whose name means placenta in ancient Turkish. However, it has been discussed whether she is goddess or a spirit. According to researchers, she must be a spirit as a feature of Turkic mythology.
