The Finnish term for the Moon is Kuu. It is a Moon goddess in Finnish mythology. According to the Kalevala, the daughter of the air Ilmatar hovered in the abyss and let a teal lay its egg on her knee. When the egg broke, its components—the yolk and white—created the Sun and the Moon, respectively. According to a reliable source, Kuu is merely the Finnish term for moon and not a god.
