Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

It is. You caught the ending correctly, and the ban part is from bean (not pronounced like English bean, of course), meaning wife or woman. Still, I would say that the banshee specifically has a fair bit more cultural recognition than most things from Gaelic myth. Like I'd expect a lot more people to recognise "banshee" than, say "each-uisge"
