What does "Atlas" mean in Spanish?

In Spanish, the word atlas has essentially the same meaning as in English and French, as it derives from the same Greek mythological root, and is written the same way without accent as atlas. In Spanish, un atlas means a collection of maps, charts, and geographic data in book or digital form, for example atlas geografico meaning geographical atlas, atlas mundial meaning world atlas, or atlas de carreteras meaning road atlas, used in schools and for reference. The word also retains the anatomical meaning, where atlas refers to the first cervical vertebra C1 that holds up the skull, called el atlas in Spanish medical terminology. In architecture, un atlante is a sculpted male figure used as a column to support an entablature, similar to English usage. The mythological Titan Atlas who holds up the sky is called Atlas or Atlante in Spanish mythology. Atlas also refers to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, called Cordillera del Atlas in Spanish. Spanish dictionaries define atlas as coleccion de mapas geograficos, meaning collection of geographic maps. So atlas in Spanish means the same as in English, a map book, first vertebra, or supporting figure, derived from Greek mythology, with no major difference in meaning, only pronunciation differs slightly with Spanish accent. Spanish also uses atlas in phrases like atlas historico for historical atlas or atlas anatomico for anatomy atlas, identical to English usage, and is a masculine noun, el atlas.
