ArchivesAtreyu!?!
When I was younger I loved the movie 'The Never Ending Story'.In that movie one of the main characters names was Atreyu. After I had my first child I named him Atreyu.The only problem is I can not figure out where it came from or who thought it up. It is driving me crazy. I have been trying for 2years to figure out where this name came from. if anyone has any ideas,please let me know,thanks.

Hello Heather,
"The Never Ending Story" is a book written by the German author Michael Ende (1929-1995). The book is from 1979. One of the characters in the book is this boy Atreyu (written Atreju in the German original) who tries to safe the fantasia-world. The name is probably just a fantasy-fiction of the author Michael Ende.
Regards, Satu

In trying to find a meaning for this name, I found it means "son of everybody". I don't know the origin. Kind of appropriate for the son of everybody to be chosen to save the world from apathy. :-)

How odd! I have been trying to name my son this same name, and I came upon this letter trying to find the meaning as well. I really like the name because it is not common. It has a very nice sound to it. If you have any more information on Atreyu, please e-mail me @ code7d@aol.com or dawlsjh@aol.com

The sobering part is that I "recall" the movie as coming out - what, 7,8 years ago? - but the kid that played Atreyu (Noah Hathaway) is now 31 years old! Hmmm...

i know you posted this years ago, but i just came across it because i was also looking for the meaning, because i am naming my son atreyu. altho i am also curious now, do you call him tre for short? because that is my planned nickname...just interested bc i havent found anyone who thinks i should name him atreyu besides his father...who only agreed after much convincing. haha
