Lí Ban or Liban' (from Old Irish lí, meaning 'beauty', and ban, meaning 'of women', hence 'paragon of women'), in the legend surrounding the formation of Lough Neagh, was a woman turned mermaid who inhabited the area before the great lake gushed up on dry land. Her family was drowned, but she survived in an underwater chamber in the lake for a year, after which she was transformed into a being who was half-human, half-salmon.
In her mermaid form, she was spotted by the ship carrying a messenger sent by St. Comgall to Rome. She promised to meet at the seaport inlet of Inbhear nOllarbha (Larne Lough) in Ireland after one year, and was captured in a fishnet. There she was baptised by Comgall, and given the Christened name Muirgein ("sea-born") or Muirgeilt ("sea-wander"). She appears canonised as St. Muirgen in genealogies of Irish saints, her feast day assigned to 27 January.
The mermaid figure may ultimately derive from another Lí Ban, Sister of Fand, in Irish mythology.
Succesfull, charmed.
