I suppose this could be. I was just curious because she is listed in Classical Roman Mythology:
The protecting deity of ancient Rome and a goddess of secrecy and of the winter solstice. Angerona is shown with a bandaged mouth with a finger to her lips commanding silence. Her feast -- the Divalia or Angeronalia -- was celebrated on December 21.
I wondering because for my Latin class I was considering doing her for a classical Roman mythology mask.

Angerona
Not at all sure how popular (well-used?) she was, but nowadays ocnventional wisdom in the Latin class is that the -ng- combination was pronounced -ny- in the same was as the -gn- in Champagne.
Anyerona?
