    Mor Dhona is draconic, though we don't know what it means.

    Abalathia probably comes from alabaster, which is generally white, though as far as I know we don't know who or what Abalathia is.

    It sounds more like a proper noun in this case.

    The best translation I can hash out for Mor Dhona translates to something like "forget death!", from Mor[n] (kill / death / die) Do[h](leave / discard / forget)+Na (used at the end of an order for emphasis).

    Prolly not accurate, but if I had to guess I'd say it's an eternal place in Eorzea and was named for that reason. Either that or because that's where Midgardsormr, a seemingly immortal dragon, resides.

    Midgardsomr was tasked to guard the seal of silvertear lake in mor dhona, making it a land somewhat safe keeped by dragons, I wouldn't be surprised if it is the reason why it has a dragon tongue name
