Atlantah is English, Greek in Origin.

Atlantah is a modern elaboration of Atlanta, itself connected either to the mythic Atalanta or the place-name tied to the Atlantic. As a mythic echo, it traces to Atalanta (Greek Atalantē), from a-tálantos “equal in weight,” yielding the sense “balanced, peerless, equal to any.” As a place-name route, Atlanta relates to the Atlantic - ultimately from Atlas, “the bearer” - suggesting “of the Atlantic/Atlas.” The final -h is a stylistic flourish in English, akin to Norah or Sarah, without changing pronunciation.

In use, Atalanta has classical pedigree through Greek legend and Renaissance literature, while Atlanta emerged as a U.S. given name in the 19th–20th centuries via the city’s prominence. Atlantah remains rare, chosen for its lyrical sound and mytho-geographic resonance. Variants and cognates include Atlanta, Atalanta, Atlanna, Atlante, Atlantea, and Alanta; diminutives include Lana, Lanta, Attie, Tali, and Ana. Connotations span speed, strength, balance, and wide horizons.
