Atre is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Atre is an Indian name rooted in Sanskrit Atri (अत्रि), the Vedic sage counted among the Saptarishi. The -e ending reflects a Prakrit/Marathi patronymic meaning “of/descended from,” so Atre literally denotes “descendant of Atri.” It is long established as a Brahmin gotra and a common surname in western India (especially Marathi and Konkani communities), and has seen modern adoption as a concise given name in India and the diaspora, typically masculine but sometimes unisex.
Meaning centers on lineage to the seer Atri and its associated qualities - wisdom, devotion, and solar/fire imagery; some Sanskrit etymologies link Atri to the root ad “to consume,” interpreted metaphorically as “the devourer” (fire/sun). Variants and related forms include Atri, Atrey/Atreyh, Aatrey, Atreya (“son/line of Atri”), and the feminine Atreyi/Aatreyi; Atreyu appears as a modern literary-influenced form. Pronunciation: AH-tray (English); ā-tre in Marathi.
