Nana is a deity (name-form attested for multiple goddesses) in Other folklore, from West Africa. Nana is a polyvalent name-form attested across many cultures and contexts in the supplied sources, functioning as a personal name, title, place-name, and the label of various creative works. The materials do not support reconstruction of a single, coherent supernatural entity called 'Nana'; instead they record multiple unrelated uses including several mythological goddess names listed in disambiguation entries without accompanying ethnographic detail.
No single mythological origin is reconstructible from the supplied sources. The name-form 'Nana' appears in disambiguation listings as the name of several distinct female divine figures (e.g., a Phrygian demigoddess mother of Attis; a Bactrian war goddess; Nana Buluku, a supreme Fon goddess; an Armenian war/wisdom/motherhood goddess; and Nanaya/Nanâ of Sumerian/Akkadian attestation), but the provided excerpts do not include narratives or origin myths for these figures, and other citations show 'Nana' used as modern personal and place names.
The supplied materials do not provide a description of a supernatural physical appearance for an entity called 'Nana'. References to appearance in the sources pertain to modern people or fictional characters (e.g., characters in the manga Nana) rather than to a consistent mythic form.
No supernatural abilities or behaviors are described in the provided sources for a single entity named 'Nana'. The only behaviors recorded are mundane biographical or fictional actions tied to named individuals (for example, career aims of fictional characters), and the disambiguation entries merely label various goddesses without detailing powers.
*Perkʷūnos
*Perkʷūnos is the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European thunder‑god hypothesized by comparative linguistics and mythology. Scholarly reconstructions portray him as a storm or thunder figure associated with fructifying rain and as the combatant who fights a multi‑headed water‑serpent to release life‑giving waters; no direct attestations from the Proto‑Indo‑European period survive and the figure is inferred from later Indo‑European traditions.
*Péh₂usōn (reconstructed)
Péh₂usōn is a hypothetical Proto‑Indo‑European pastoral guardian reconstructed by comparative scholars from parallels in Greek and Vedic traditions. Proposed as a Graeco‑Aryan ancestor‑figure, the reconstruction describes a protector of flocks, roads, and travellers rather than an attested historical cultic personality.

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
An Elvish hymn in Sindarin addressed to Elbereth (Varda) from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. Presented in The Lord of the Rings and later musical and dramatic adaptations, the hymn functions as devotional poetic language that evokes Elvish reverence for the star-kindler rather than an independent supernatural agent.

Aban Yasht
The Aban Yasht is a hymn from the Persian tradition that praises Anahita, a goddess associated with water, fertility, and wisdom. It consists of 132 stanzas and is part of the 21 Yashts collection.
