Tanit[1] was a Punic and Phoenician goddess, the chief deity of Carthage alongside her consort Baal-Hamon.[2][3] She was also adopted by the Berber people.
Tanit is also called Tinnit, Tannou, or Ta-ngu meaning "The Sun" and Ta-ngo meaning the land of lions. The name appears to have originated in Carthage (modern day Tunisia), though it does not appear in local theophorous names.[4] She was equivalent to the moon-goddess Astarte, and later worshipped in Roman Carthage in her Romanized form as Dea Caelestis, Juno Caelestis, or simply Caelestis.
In modern-day Tunisian Arabic, it is customary to invoke Omek Tannou or Oumouk Tangou ('Mother Tannou' or 'Mother Tangou', depending on the region), in years of drought to bring rain.[5] Similarly, Tunisian and many other spoken forms of Arabic refer to "Baali farming" to refer to non-irrigated agriculture.Said it was the Goddess of Tanit
