Umay

Umay (also known as Umai or Mai; in Old Turkic: ) is the goddess of fertility and virginity in Turkic mythology and Tengriism and as such related to women, mothers and children. Umay resembles earth-mother goddesses found in various other world religions. Literally in the Mongolian language, "eje" or "eej" means "mother," and in Old Turkic, the similar word eçe also means 'mother'. In Mongolian "Umai" means womb or uterus. The earth was considered a "mother" symbolically.
