Atlas, believed to be derived rom the Greek word tlao, meaning "enduring," is a powerful name that carries a lot of weight. In Greek mythology, Atlas, the brother of Prometheus, was a Titan who helped lead the war against the Olympian gods. He was punished by Zeus to carry the heavens on his shoulders for eternity. It first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 in 2013 and has been a top 200 boy's name every year since 2020, but it can also work for baby girls. "Pretty Little Liars" actress Shay Mitchell and her partner Matte Babel named their older daughter Atlas, born in 2019.
