Is there a sea goddess?

Question

or a river spirit? or something related to water like godess thats female? whats her name?

Answer 1

Thalassa/Thalatta/Thalath was the personification of the Mediterranean Sea. She was a Protogenos--a primordial sea goddess. Later, she was confused with Tethys.

Tethys was a Titaness/Titanide and also a sea goddess, the mother of the rivers, lakes and springs of the world.

Amphitrite, the wife of Poseidon, was the queen of the sea and a sea goddess.

Leucothea was the "white goddess" of the sea.

Doris was a sea goddess, the mother of the Nereids.

Then there were the NUMEROUS water nymphs, the Oceanids (the ocean or salt water), the Nereids (the Mediterranean) and the Naiads (fresh water). I couldn't even begin to name all of these, as there were many; three thousand Oceanids, fifty Nereids and many Naiads.

These are all from Greek mythology. There are probably many others I could name as well.

Answer 2

There are many Sea and/or Water Goddesses around the world.  Here are a few:

In Inuit mythology, Sedna is a deity and goddess of the marine animals, especially mammals. She lives in and rules over the Inuit underworld. Sedna is also known as Arnakuagsak or Arnarquagssaq (Greenland) and Nerrivik or Nuliajuk (Alaska).   The varying legends each give different rationales for her death at the hands of her father. Sometimes she is the innocent victim, and sometimes she appears to deserve death as punishment for greed. But all tales agree that she descended into the depths of the ocean and became the Goddess of Sea Creatures. As such, she became a vital deity, worshipped by hunters who depended on her goodwill to supply food.

Mama Cocha:  The Inca goddess of the sea, and provider of all the fish from the sea. She is the favorite of fishermen and mariners. The supreme god Viracocha is her husband. Her name means "Sea Mother".

Iemanja: A Brazilian Sea Goddess.  Found mostly around the fishing and sailing areas of Brazil.  The Goddess Iemanja is a powerful entity.   Iemanja is the Queen of the Sea, protector of sailors and fishermen. All who die at sea go to her luxurious underwater palace, so the sailors prefer that to dying in bed. But she never drowns anyone herself. She is a kind, magnificently beautiful goddess, occasionally rising from the sea to greet the sailors. They sing songs in her honor at night, when the trail of moonlight shines on the water. The storytellers say this is Iemanja's hair, floating on the waves. Obviously, Iemanja is a manifestation of the Great Goddess in one of her many forms.

Benten is the Japanese sea goddess or water goddess, on whose image many local deities near lakes were based.

Asherat is a fertility goddess and goddess of the sea of ancient Syria and Palestine.

Ran is the Norse Goddess of storms, and the wife of the sea God Aegir. She rules over the realm of the dead which is situated on the bottom of the ocean. She sinks ships and collects drowned sailors in her nets and takes them to her hall where she tenderly ministers them (drowned persons neither go to Valhalla nor to Helheim). With Aegir she is the mother of nine daughters (the billows), who wore white robes and veils.

Juras Mate ("sea mother") is the Latvian Goddess of the Sea. She is one of the numerous mothers. She is said to be worshipped by fishermen and sailors, plays an important role in healing by magic, especially to stop bleeding.  

Tara is the Polynesian sea-goddess. Those who have seen her describe her as a woman with long waving hair who is so beautiful that the men just stare at her, transfixed.

Sea Goddesses (Greek)

Tethys is a Sea Goddess and the personification of the fertile ocean. She married her brother Oceanus and had over 3000 children by him, they were the springs, lakes, rivers of the world.

Doris was a sea goddess in Greek mythology. She was the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys (who were also sea gods/goddesses). Doris had many, many sisters. She was the wife of the sea god Nereus, her half-brother. She had fifty daughters, called the Nereids.

Amphitrite is the queen of the sea, variously given as the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys or of Nereus and Doris. When the sea god Poseidon wanted her as his bride, she declined the honor and hid from him in the Atlantic Ocean. A dolphin not only located her, but also brought her back to him, and he married her. The dolphin was awarded a place in heaven. Their son is the fish-man Triton. Amphitrite was portrayed on Greek amphoras together with her consort, riding in a chariot pulled by sea creatures, or sitting on a sea creature, surrounded by Tritons. She is decorated with the attributes of a queen, her waving hair covered with a net.  The Romans referred to her as Salacia.

TETHYS was the Titan goddess of the sources fresh water which nourished the earth. She was the wife of Okeanos, the earth-encircling, fresh-water stream, and the mother of the Potamoi (Rivers), Okeanides (Springs, Streams & Fountains) and Nephelai (Clouds). Tethys was imagined feeding her children's streams by drawing water from Okeanos through subterranean aquifers. Her name was derived from the Greek word têthê, "the nurse" or "grandmother."   Tethys was likely identified with the Titanis Eurynome, one-time Queen of Heaven, who was cast into the Ocean-stream along with her husband Ophion by Kronos. Tethys was later represented by poets as the sea personified, and so equated with Thalassa.

THE OKEANIDES (or Oceanides) were three thousand goddess Nymphs who presided over the sources of earth's fresh-water, ranging from rainclouds to subterranean springs and fountains.  Their numbers included the Nephelai (Cloud-Nymphs), Aurai (Breeze-Nymphs), Naiades (Spring and Fountain Nymphs), Leimonides (Pasture Nymphs), and Anthousai (Flower Nymphs). They were all daughters of the great, earth-encircling, fresh-water stream Okeanos and his wife Tethys.

Salacia is a  Roman sea goddess. The god Neptune wanted to marry her but she ran off and hid from him in the Atlantic ocean. Neptune sent a dolphin to look for her and when the animal found her it brought her back to him. Salacia agreed to marry Neptune and the dolphin was awarded a place in the heavens. Salacia bore Neptune three children. She is identified with the Greek god, Amphitrite.
