I normally would not stoop to mentioning such a disreputable person as J.K. #Rowling, but unfortunately she seems to be invoking the names of #Gaulish Gods now, as part of her fanatical bigot campaign:
#HogwartsLegacy has reportedly introduced a trans woman character named #Sirona Ryan.

#Sirona is in fact a Gaulish #Goddess associated with thermal baths and healing. Her name means something like "Divine Star," and was also spelled Đirona, Θirona, or Serona.
She was often worshipped alongside #Apollo ~ #Grannos, Solar Gods Who were also of healing and thermal baths.
Her iconography was represented by Roman artists as #Hygeia, a Greek Goddess of health and hygiene.
It was probably not uncommon for both girls and boys to be named after Sirona in antiquity. We have records of widespread personal names like:
Sironis, Siranius, Serana, Seranus, Serania, Serandus, etc.
(Note that spelling differences could arise from linguistic changes or dialectal variants).
But of course, we know that Hogwarts Legacy is not making such an innocent callback to ancient Gallo-Roman culture...
It's obvious, given #Rowling's penchant for naming characters with ham-fisted puns, that she intended "Sirona Ryan" as a cryptic, backhanded way to #misgender a trans woman (first, for Sirona sounding like "sir", second for the surname sounding like a man's name).
This is an extremely cynical way to troll the trans-rights boycott of her video game. I'm sure we'll never hear the end of people claiming Rowling and #HogwartsLegacy are really inclusive now, since they "even have a trans character"
