What does the name atoli mean?

Answer 1

Atoli is a mostly feminine name, and comes from the Japanese word "atori". It means "brambling", which is a type of small bird native to Europe and Asia, known for migrating in large flocks of thousands, possibly millions. Because of the nature of the bird itself, the names Atoli or Atori typically convey the wish that the child have many friends and loved ones, and that they're never alone.

From what I've seen, the most common use of the name Atoli is in the .hack//G.U. games by Bandai, in which the name is used by one of the main characters. However, the name exists in the real world, as I myself have met a girl from Brazil named Atoli while on a visit to the Caribbean. Whether or not the name has separate meaning in South America, or a substancial popularity therein remains to be seen, but I would argue that it's a beautiful name, regardless of language or region.
