A suggestion (Mike C plz take a look)
in reply to a message by Snoof
One possibility is Moira. Besides the etymology suggested by Mike C in this site, Moira also means destiny and fate in Greek.
The goddesses of Fate (Moirai) of Greek mythology are:
Clotho ("to spin"): she was thespinner of the thread of destiny.
Lachesis ("to obtain by lot"): she measured the thread of destiny.
Atropos ("inexorable"): the most implacable of fates, she cut the thread of destiny with her scissors.
