===Similar deities===
In her role as a terrifying battlefield goddess and harbinger of doom, Badb closely resembles [[Nemain]].  Like Badb, Nemain is identified as a wife of Neit.  Writers have sometimes used their names interchangeably, suggesting that they may in fact be a single goddess.<ref name="Dictionary" /> On the other hand, [[W. M. Hennessy]] notes that Badb and Nemain were said to have different sets of parents, suggesting that they may not be entirely identical figures.<ref name="Ancient" />

Badb also appears to be closely related to the [[Gaulish]] goddess [[Catubodua]], or Bodua.<ref name="Dictionary" />
