Lmao thank you so much and very good/ amusing etymology! I chose Amata from a sort of synonym for Nirvana in Pali referencing a deathless state:

A synonym widely used for nirvana in early texts is "deathless" or "deathfree" (Pali: amata, sanskrit: amrta) and refers to a condition "where there is no death, because there is also no birth, no coming into existence, nothing made by conditioning, and therefore no time."
