Edusa is an archaic birth and childhood deity.
Edusa, also known as Edulia, Edula, Educa, and other variations, comes from the verbs edo, edere, and esus, which means to “eat.” The changes in her name might mean that even while her functional emphasis was restricted, her name had not yet become stable; she was primarily a heavenly power that could be called upon on demand to do a particular task.
