Mama Uqllu
Mama Uqllu (Hispanicized Mama Ocllo, Mama Occllo, Mama Okllo) is an Inca mother-figure and culture-founder associated with fertility, marriage, the menstrual cycle, and the transmission of domestic and civilizing arts (weaving, house-building). She is paired with Manco Cápac in foundation myths and appears in variant genealogies as child of either Inti and Mama Killa or of Viracocha and Mama Qucha.
Mamdo Bhoot
The ghost of a Muslim person in Bengali Hindu folk belief — 'Mamdo' deriving from 'Mahmood.' The Mamdo Bhoot occupies a unique place in Bengal's supernatural taxonomy: a cross-religious ghost in a deeply syncretic tradition, with its own distinctive characteristics and ward practices that follow the ghost's religious tradition rather than the observer's.
Mami Wata
Mami Wata is a class of water-associated female supernatural beings and deities found across parts of West, Central, East and Southern Africa and in the African Atlantic diaspora. Associated with wealth, fertility, healing, beauty and possession phenomena, Mami Wata figures combine mermaid-like and snake- or crocodile-linked imagery and have absorbed foreign visual forms through historical contact.
Mamitu
Mamitu (variants Mammitum, Mammitu, Mammi) is a Mesopotamian goddess associated with the underworld, attested in god lists, theophoric names, and cultic contexts, most likely worshiped primarily in Kutha. Her importance in the broader Mesopotamian pantheon was minor and localized; she is recorded as consort to underworld gods such as Nergal, Erra, or Meslamtaea in different textual traditions.
Mamlambo
Mamlambo is a southern African / Zulu river-deity or water spirit figure described in modern sources as a large, hybrid aquatic monster associated both with deadly attacks attributed by villagers and with themes of seductive wealth similar to Mami Wata. High-profile press reports from 1997 linked mamlambo to multiple deaths at the Mzintlava River near Mount Ayliff in the Eastern Cape.

Manco Cápac is the foundational ancestral figure and culture‑founder of the Inca (Quechua) tradition: remembered as the first ruler (Sapa Inca) and progenitor who, according to origin legends, established Cusco after emerging with Mama Ocllo from Lake Titicaca. Sources treat him variably as mythic ancestor, legitimizing founder, and a possibly historical early ruler.
