What does Atlas mean?
/ˈætləs/2 syllables

Atlas comes from Greek mythology, where he was the Titan condemned to hold up the sky for eternity after the Titans lost their war with the Olympian gods. Because early collections of maps often featured an image of Atlas on the cover, his name eventually became the everyday word for a book of maps.

Atlas is a strong, dependable name, well suited to a pet with a sturdy build and a calm, steady presence.
