Moira
Destiny goddess name
Moira is a Greek name meaning fate or destiny, from the Moirai—the three Fates of Greek mythology who spun, measured, and cut the thread of human life.
As a given name, it's the Irish form of Mary, pronounced MOY-ra or MOR-a.
The name suggests someone with old-world elegance: Moira was always the most dramatic one in the family.
