Lympha

In Roman mythology, Lymphae were water goddesses, often identified with the nymphs of Greek mythology. These deities were associated with fertile natural elements, particularly water sources like springs, rivers, and lakes. While not immortal, they possessed very long lifespans and generally held benevolent attitudes toward humans. The term "lymph" in English, referring to a bodily fluid, derives from the Latin word lympha, meaning water or water goddess, itself possibly linked to the Greek word for nymph.123
