name
"Nobody knows the original name of the spring equinox. The neo-pagan have called Mabon, although it is surprising to associate the divine youth to cool the winter, the days getting shorter and the profits of the harvest. Modron (the nurturing mother goddess) or Rosmerta ("Good Providence") seem more appropriate. "

Based on what is said above,

Mabon, the Divine Youth, is his son.
