Meaning & History

It might derive from the Greek τλάω (tlao), which means "to endure." In Greek mythology, he was a Titan who faced punishment from Zeus by being compelled to bear the weight of the heavens on his shoulders. His name is also identical to the Greek name for the Atlas Mountains in North Africa, although it is unclear which came first.
