Atlas

Shouldered with the weight of the heavens, Atlas was the Greek Titan condemned to hold up the sky at the western edge of the world. The name carries that same architectural grandeur, with two syllables that land like columns set in stone. Once considered too mythic for everyday use, Atlas broke into the U.S. top 200 in the 2010s and has climbed steadily since, buoyed by a generation drawn to celestial and cartographic names. It reads modern without feeling invented, ancient without feeling dusty. A name for a child you suspect will chart their own terrain.
