The Mouri's name is a corruption of the {{w|Moirai|Moirai}}, the three Fates of Ancient Greek mythology, one of whom was herself named {{w|Atropos}}.
The name "Mouri" clearly has roots in the mythological {{w|Moirai}}, from [[Greek mythology]]. Often known as the Fates in [[English language|English]], the Moirai are typically said to consist of three feminine figures: {{w|Clotho}}, who spins the thread of life, {{w|Lachesis}}, who measures the thread, and {{w|Atropos}}, who ended the lives of mortals by cutting the thread.
 
The [[Temple of Atropos]], borrowing from this mythology, is a mechanism for the thread of time, and [[Time (Set Piece)|Time]] herself is analogous to Atropos, a figure involved with [[death]] through the passage of [[time]].
