English translation: 

In an inscribed decree of the Decurions of Cumae (CIL X 3698) from 289 AD, the election of a priest matris deae Baianae is mentioned; in the confirmation of this election by the Roman Quindecimviri sacris faciundis, recorded on the same stone, the same deity is referred to simply as Mater deum. The name is probably explained by the fact that in Baiae the mother of the gods was united with a mater Baiana, who was worshipped as a city goddess (cf. the Reatinus pater CIL IX 4676, pater Pyrgensis XI 3107, see also Albsis pater); the M(ater) d(eum) m(agna) Port(us) Aug(usti) et Traiani felicis CIL XIV 408. 429 is also named after the place of her worship.

Shortly, there was a goddess, a Mater Deum (the mother of the gods). In 289 AD her name was mentioned in Cumea, first ancient Greek colony of Magna Graecia on the mainland of Italy.

Baiana sounds exactly like Bay Ana, a Türkic deity. Bayana is the goddess of existence in Turkish and Altai mythologies. And there is an other goddess called Bai Baianai (Old Türkic: 𐰉𐰀𐰖 𐰉𐰀𐰖𐰀𐰣𐰀𐰖) is the Yakut spirit of forests, animals and patron of hunters. Hunters light fires and pray that their work will pass fertile and without accidents. In some cultures, she protects children. She is considered a protector of the lineage.

I think this is very clear that these three deities should be related to each other.
