Lero

Lero

Lero is an obscure Celtic god, invoked alongside the goddess Lerina as the eponymous spirit of Lérins in Provence. ["L'Arbre Celtique." [http://www.arbre-celtique.com/approfondissements/divinites/inventaire-div/div_liste.php?nomloc=L%E9rins Lérins] ] Nothing is known about these gods apart from these epigraphic dedications. Lero is also an uncommon surname found in the United States.
