Sonponno (shawn-pawn-naw) or Sopona, is the Orisha of smallpox and by extension other diseases, especially those that produce sores or lesions. Other names include Babalú-Ayé and the praise name Ile-Titu. The Eshu use this name for the Sluagh Kith, derived from their appearance and not generally derogatory.
