Morríganはしばしば三つ組の女神とされるが、この三つ組は曖昧で一貫性がない。
The Morrígan is often considered a [[Triple deities#Triple goddesses|triple goddess]], but this triple nature is ambiguous and inconsistent. These triple appearances are partially due to the Celtic significance of [[3#Religion|threeness]].<ref name=":0" /> Sometimes she appears as one of three sisters, the daughters of [[Ernmas]]: Morrígan, [[Badb]] and [[Macha (Irish mythology)|Macha]].<ref name="Invasions">{{cite book | author=Macalister, R.A.S.

Occasionally, [[Nemain]] or [[Nemain|Fea]] appear in the various combinations. However, the Morrígan can also appear alone,<ref name="CELT-Regamna"/> and her name is sometimes used interchangeably with Badb.<ref name="CMT166-CELT"/>
