Water bearer refers to a person or object that carries or transports water. It is commonly associated with a person or deity who is responsible for providing water and distributing it to others. The term originates from ancient times when water was scarce in certain regions, necessitating the presence of individuals dedicated to fetching and distributing water to the community.
In mythology, a water bearer is often represented as a figure, either divine or human, entrusted with the task of supplying water to a particular group or being. These figures are often depicted carrying a vessel or jug filled with water.

The word "Water Bearer" has its etymology rooted in ancient Greek mythology. It comes from the combination of two words: "Aquarius" and "Hydrochoos".
Aquarius is derived from the Latin word "aquārius", meaning "water carrier" or "water bearer". This word, in turn, is derived from the Latin word "aqua", meaning "water".
Hydrochoos, on the other hand, has its origins in Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, there was a young man named Ganymede, a prince of Troy. It is said that Zeus, the king of gods, fell in love with Ganymede's beauty and abducted him to Olympus to serve as the cupbearer of the gods. In Greek, the name Ganymede is often associated with "Hydrochoos" meaning "water pouring".
