Morticia's maiden name is 'Frump' and she has an older sister named Ophelia (also played by Carolyn Jones in the original TV series). When the characters were adapted to the 1964 television series, Charles Addams' selection of her name was inspired by ' mortician'. In the cartoons, none of the family members had names.

The character originated in the Charles Addams cartoons for The New Yorker magazine in the 1930s.

Morticia is the wife of Gomez Addams and mother of Wednesday, Pugsley and Pubert Addams. She often appeared with the rest of the family, and was, along with Gomez and Grandmama, one of the few members to actually speak in the cartoons. Morticia first appeared in Charles Addams' newspaper cartoons as the stern, aloof matriarch of the family. Morticia Addams has been portrayed by several actresses in various Addams Family media, including Carolyn Jones in the television series The Addams Family (1964), Anjelica Huston in the feature films The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993), and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the streaming television series Wednesday (2022). She plays the role of the family's reserved matriarch.
