Atlante is Greek in Origin.

Atlante is chiefly the Italian form of Atlas, from Greek Ἄτλας (Átlas), probably linked to the root tla-/tlē- “to endure, bear.” It denotes “bearer/supporter,” evoking the Titan who holds up the sky. In Italian, atlante also names a bound collection of maps and the first cervical vertebra; in Spanish and Portuguese, atlante is used for the architectural “telamon” figure.

In literature, Atlante appears in Renaissance Italian chivalric epics - Boiardo’s Orlando Innamorato and Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso - as the sorcerer who protects Ruggiero, fixing the form in Italian culture. As a given name it remains rare, found sporadically in Italy and, by extension, in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, sometimes chosen as a bold alternative to Atlas and occasionally unisex. Variants and cognates include Atlas (international modern favorite); related forms referencing the myth or place include Atlantide/Atlántida (“Atlantis”). Not to be confused with Atalante/Atalanta, a different Greek name.
