Suria (2017–) is a celtic deity, the female deification of good flowing water, and a weaning Mother goddess. It reminds of Finnish word "surija", a sad person, that can be  musically connected to the Karelian tradition of keens, weeping songs, performed especially by old women. It also reminds of Finnish word "surina", buzz, a certain noise that is often connected to electronic music.
