Atalaya

Atalaya is a Spanish name given to only a handful of baby girls each year in the US. But as the similar Cataleya, the name of Zoe Saldana's character in Colombiana, gets more popular in the US along with several European and Latin American countries, the similar Atalaya may find more fans.

Pronounced ah-tuh-LY-uh.

As of October 2026, Atalaya ranked #9522 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #6042 in 1971.
