Lachesis

Lachesis was one of the Fates, and her name literally means 'drawing of lots' (lachesis) from lanchano, 'to obtain by lot', 'draw lots'. She was thus the goddess who 'apportioned' a person's life, who laid down (or measured) what one's lot in life should be.

Compare the names of the other Fates - Clotho and Atropos. Clotho, whose name suggests spinning, came to give the three a consecutive ordering of a person's destiny, with Clotho drawing the thread of life out, Lachesis measuring it, and Atropos cutting it of.
