My teacher or star of the sea
Moria is a name with dual roots. In Hebrew, it is a variant of Moriah, referring to the sacred mountain where the temple was built, often interpreted as 'seen by God' or 'God is my teacher.' In Latin contexts, it is sometimes used as a variant of Mary or Moira, meaning 'star of the sea.'
