Atlas

Atlas comes from Ancient Greek mythology — the Titan condemned to hold up the heavens on his shoulders for eternity. The name itself may derive from the Greek 'a-' (not) and 'tlaein' (to carry), or alternatively from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning to carry or endure. Either way, Atlas has always signified great strength, endurance, and a sense of grand scale. For a pet, it suggests a companion of impressive presence.

Atlas is a name that carries real weight — in the best possible way. It calls to mind strength, endurance, and a certain majestic quality that some companions are simply born with. Pets named Atlas tend to have a commanding presence that draws the eye, whether they are large and powerful or simply possess that indefinable quality of seeming larger than they are. There is also a sense of wonder in this name, the idea of a creature who contains multitudes, who is their own whole world. It is a bold choice that rewards a companion with genuine personality.
