I think Atlanta is named after a railroad, something Atlantic. It used to be named Marthasville, then they called it Terminus because that is where the railroad line ended (or started, don't remember, guess it doesn't matter which), then Atlanta from the feminine form of Atlantic.
If they changed it back to "Marthasville" a lot of hoodrats would be regretting their ATL tattoos.
