Abstract
Iria is the name of 1/ a town-river in Liguria 2/ a port of the Callaeci on the Atlantic Ocean and 3/ a Venus-Goddess in a dedicace of Istria. It is proposed to compare this toponym-theonym to Irish íriu 'the Land', Welsh Iwerddon 'Irland', Greek Ηιερία, sanskrit pīvarī, and to derive it ultimately from a prototype *pīweriā (*piHwerih2) with regular loss in Celtic of p- and (sporadic) loss of intervocalic -w-. The original meaning of this designation would have been "The Fertile One, The Rich One, The Abundant".
