Bearing the weight

Language & etymology

What the name means.

Atlas is a Greek mythological name, not a biblical title. Its derivation is uncertain, often associated with bearing or enduring. The house uses endurance as a literary theme without identifying the mythological figure with God.

Isopsephy

The numeric value.

532

Alpha 1 + Tau 300 + Lambda 30 + Alpha 1 + Sigma 200 = 532

Greek character

A devotional reflection.
