lithuanian cognate of "marta" (martha), meaning "mistress of the house" or "lady" in aramaic. in lithuanian history, morta was the wife of mindaugas and the sole queen of lithuania.

Morta (baptized circa 1252 by the bishop of Chełmno, died ca. 1263) was the Grand Duchess of Lithuania (until 1253) and later Queen of Lithuania (1253—1262). There is very little know about her life; even her pagan name is unknown. The only clue into her origin or birth place is a short mention in the comments following the treaty signed in 1219 between Lithuanian dukes and Halych-Volhynia.

the Fate who cuts the thread of life; counterpart of Greek Atropos

Roman goddess of death who is one of a set of gods similar to the Greek fates called the Parcae.

Morta is a semi-fossilized wood. It is created when large trees are felled or overturned by geologic activity and become buried in an oxygen-limited fashion, usually in peat or clay. The wood is unable to rot normally so it begins the long process of fossilizing into stone.
