"...Mabon is a Welsh name that means “great son,” referring to the “Son of the Great Mother.”

Mabon, son of Modron, literally means “Son, child of Mother.” He is also known as Maponus, which the Romans identified with Apollo.

The Mabon festival is named after the Celtic god of light. However, there is little evidence that Mabon was observed in Celtic lands, especially since the term Mabon was coined by modern pagans only in 1970."
