In Roman mythology, one of the three Fates (goddesses who control human destiny); also an Italian female given name.
From Latin 'nona' meaning ninth, one of the three Fates who spun out the thread of life. The name originally referred to the ninth hour of the day in Roman timekeeping.
The three Fates had specific jobs—Nona spun the thread of life, Decima measured it, and Morta cut it, and this imagery was so powerful that Shakespeare, Dante, and Tolkien all riffed on it centuries later.
