ine-pro Borrowed from Latin Atlas, from the name of the Ancient Greek - mythological figure Ἄτλας (Bearer (of the Heavens)), from τλῆναι (to suffer”, “to endure”, “to bear). The sense referring to books of maps comes from the Atlas of Mercator, which he named thus in honor of Atlas, who was supposed to be skillful in astronomy and the doctrine of the sphere.
