Yup, another Finnisah diety of the day. Madderakka, also known as Madder-Akka, or Maderakka, is the mother goddess of childbirth. With her daughters, she was responsible for the welfare of the baby from conception. The four of them--Madderakka and her daughters--were responsible for inspiring parents for baby names.
Madderakka may be a side of Akka, the main female Finnish diety, but this is uncertain.

Wonderful! I've never delved into the Finnish pantheon. So this was a breath of fresh, fresh, air.
Thanks!
Thats the point of Deity of the Day posts: to expose people to little intros into new pantheons.
