In connection with Givon, or Govan, or Coven, it is interesting to note that the word used by Tacitus to denote a British chariot is _covinus_. Local tradition claims that the scythes of Boudiccas _coveni_ were made at Birmingham, and there may be truth in this for the _bir_ of Birmingham is the radical of _faber_, feu_ber_, or _fire father_, and likewise of _Lefebre_, the French equivalent of Smith. That Birmingham was an erstwhile home of the followers of the Fire Father, the Prime, or Forge of Life, is deducible not only from the popular "Brum" or "Brummagem," but from the various forms recorded of the name.[459] The variant Brymecham may be modernised into Prime King; the neighbouring Bromsgrove is equivalent to Auberon's Grove; Bromieham was no doubt a home of the Brownies, and the authorities are sufficiently right in deriving from this name "Home of the sons of _Beorn_". Bragg is a common surname in Birmingham: Perkunas or _Peroon_, the Slav Pater or Jupiter, was always represented with a hammer. In Fig. 175 _ante_, p. 332, the British Fire Father, or Hammersmith, was labouring at what is assumed to be a helmet or a burnie, and Fig. 258 is evidently a variant of the same subject. In the _Red Book of Hergest_ there occurs a line--"With Math the ancient, with Gofannon," from which one might gather that Math and Gofannon were one. In any case the word _smith_ is apparently _se mith_, _se meath_, or _Se Math_, and the Smeath's Ridge at Avebury was probably named after the heavenly Smith or _Gofan_. According to Rice Holmes the bronze image of a god with a hammer has been found in England, but where or when is not stated: it is, however, generally believed that this Celtic Hammer Smith was a representation of the Dis Pater,[460] to whom the Celts attributed their origin.
