Goddesses of Famine or Names meaning Famine?

I've got an idea in mind for a short story, but I'm having difficulty with one of the characters. The character is supposed to have the name of a Goddess of Famine, but the only Goddess that I can find is Limus (Or Limos) and I'm after a Goddess not connected to the Greek pantheon.



Are there any other Goddess of Famine? If not, are their any female names that mean or have anything to do with Famine?Goddesses of Famine or Names meaning Famine?
Habonia was the Celtic goddess of harvest and land, and when she was angry she would cause a famine, so you could use something like that. Otherwise you could use the Irish for Ireland (脡ire) which was infamous in the middle 1800's due to a huge famine that more than halved the population of the country.Goddesses of Famine or Names meaning Famine?
