Celtic mythology, Dewi was an ancient god, worshipped primarily in
Wales. He was represented by a Great Red Serpent; this symbol in the form of a
dragon is on the official emblem of Wales. Coincidentally, the patron saint of Wales,

St David's), and also in various place names containing Llanddewi ("church of Dewi").Common first name for women in Indonesia and Malaysia.
