Abandinus is an obscure Celtic deity, possibly a river-god.
He is currently known only from inscriptions found near Godmanchester in Cambridgeshire, England: a bronze votive feather is dedicated to him with the fragmentary text "to the god Abandinus, Vatiaucus gave this from his own resources" inscribed on a plaque.
Some believe that Abandinus was associated with the river Ouse, which is near the Godmanchester temple site and was formerly known as Aban.

Abandinus: a Brythonic god (Defender of the Waters)
Some believe that he was associated with the river Ouse (formerly known as Abona or Afon).
One etymological possibility is that Abandinus is derived from the Brythonic Abon (the modern Cymric Afon, meaning river) and Dîn or Dūn (fortification) rendering his name something like ‘Defender of the Waters’, which would make him a local protector deity of the insular 'Mars' type.

  Abandinus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abandinus is a Celtic deity, currently known only from a single inscription from Godmanchester in Cambridgeshire, England: an inscribed bronze votive feather is dedicated to him with the text to the god Abandinus, Vatiaucus gave this from his own resources.
Some believe that he was associated with the river Ouse (formerly known as Abona or Afon), though Celtic river deities were almost always female, so this may be unlikely; he may also have been associated with a local spring.
Others have suggested that is related to Mabon, a more popular Celtic deity; though it seems unlikely, Abandinus and Mabon have linguistic characteristics that make this theory possible.

Melody Grove is named in honour of the Romano-British god Abandinus.
A bronze votive feather was inscribed "DEO ABANDINO VATIAVCVS D S D" ("To the god Abandinus, Vatiacus dedicates this out of his own funds) and found near Cambridge.
It is thought he was named thus as a god of the river, or spring, because of the melodious sound of the water.

 Ten Thousand Monkeys
Sinking the tip into the wooden deck, Guiromélans tests the sword’s blade with his hand and shows Balen the result.  The edge is weak and heavily nicked, and it fails to cut his skin.  Nevertheless, the boy admires the dull shine of the worn metal with a gleam in his eye.
Abandinus hustles over, his eyes alit with excitement.  “One of me morwr’s heard somethin’ ahead,” he hisses in an exaggerated whisper.  “Now we all hears it.  Dead ahead.”
It is several hours later when his door opens without fanfare.  Quartermaster Abandinus and Adalgis—new Captain of the ship—enter without a word.  Outside, Guiromélans notes a crowd of anxious and angry Bracks.  He raises his eyebrows at his two guests, “Yes?”

Guiromélans takes a long drink from his stein.  The whiskey nearly gone, he made sure plenty of Muttese gin—the best the auberge had to offer—was loaded as a reserve.  The keeq beer was fair, but the fool paqa always bake the damn alcohol out of it before it gets served.
A dark shape approaches and slowly materializes into that of Abandinus.  The Bo’s’n eyes Guiromélans warily.  He had always been an ally of Mogens.  With the Quartermaster so suddenly gone, he is not sure where he stands with the Captain.
Guiromélans looks around him.  “You all serve vital, important roles.  Roles that would be diminished should you be burdened with the distractions of the quartermaster…  All of you, that is, with the exception of one.”  He looks as Abandinus.
