The Norse goddess Eir is associated with medicine while the Mesopotamian Ea is associated with water and oceans.
Plus the Japanese katakana written for Ea is エア, which is exactly the same as the way they wrote Fate Stay Night's Ea weapon as well.
Kamihime even reused the same Fate's reference of the Babylonian myth of エヌマ・エリシュ (Enuma Elish) as one of her abilities.

So yeah Noxy is correct.

Personally though, I was half-expecting a kamihime like Ryuu-Ou to be getting the awakening since what she does is pretty bland (but useful) and straightforward.
Giving Shiva (who already have a kit like Arthur) an awakening is just a little too much in my opinion, considering the fact that she is already pretty strong.

But yeah, looking back at it now out of all the water Kamihime released so far in order of Old->New (excluding the limited edition winter/summer/beach/SSR reprint version etc versions).

Shiva
Poseidon
Aphrodite
Ryuu Ou
Cthulu
Ea
Asherah / Ashtoreth
Pluto


The oldest Kamihime on the list with a massive dip in power level compared to all of its older kamihimes of the same element would be Ea.
Her kit is pretty much a weaker version of Tyr and somewhat a mix of Acala with the rage depletion and Wind element's invulnerability.

So makes a lot of sense in my opinion to buff her, even though that buff is pretty meh compared to all the other awakenings so far.
