Because of Ethniu's connections the three different races of Fomorians, Tuatha Dé Danann and Milesians became united in her descendants.

Lug's father was Cian of the Tuatha Dé Danann and his mother was Ethniu, daughter of Balor, of the Fomorians.
Their union is presented as a dynastic marriage between the two peoples in the Book of Invasions, but later folklore tells a more elaborate story, reminiscent of the birth of Perseus from Greek mythology.
According to a prophecy, Balor was to be killed by his grandson, so he locked his daughter Ethniu in a tower of crystal, usually located on Tory Island, to keep her from becoming pregnant.

Meanwhile, in the Manse garden at Fallekin Astow, Theola Devin was kneeling near a herbaceous border and inexpertly wielding a trowel.
It didn't help that she was being frenetically "assisted" by the huge cat upon which, in a moment of aberration, she had bestowed the name Ethniu.
Ethniu watched him go, and returned to her wash. The other human, the one called Sir Liam, remained and beckoned to another, who hovered nearby with a bowler hat in one nervous hand and a piece of paper in the other.

 The Shining One
During my research, I have found Fomor also spelled Formors, and the Tuatha de Danaan spelled as Tuatha de Danu.
Alternate spellings also exist for Ethlinn (Elatha, Ethniu), Nuada (Nuadha), Samildanach (Ioldanach) and Lamhfhada (Lamfada, Lamfhada).
So, quite naturally, it is impossible for me to tell which spelling is most proper.

 Celtic Myth and Legend: The British Gods: Chapter XXIV. The Decline and Fall of the Gods
The names of Arthur's Knights might almost be described as "household words", while the gods who had no portion in the Table Round are known only to those who busy themselves with antiquarian lore.
They have none of the definite coherence of the contemporary Gaelic folk-tales quoted in a previous chapter as still preserving the myths about Goibniu, Lugh, Cian, Manannán, Ethniu, and Balor.
Indeed, they have reached such a stage of disintegration that they can hardly now survive another generation.
