About Attikus
Attikus is a masculine name that represents a modern spelling variation of the classical Latin name Atticus. The original Atticus gained fame through the Roman literary figure Titus Pomponius Atticus and more recently through the character Atticus Finch in Harper Lee's novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' The alternative spelling with 'k' instead of 'c' gives the name a more distinctive, contemporary feel while maintaining its historical gravitas. Attikus conveys wisdom, intellectual strength, and moral integrity. Though still uncommon, the name has gained some popularity among parents seeking names with classical roots but unique modern presentation. The name projects sophistication and literary connections while standing out on class rosters.
Pronounced AT-uh-kus.
As of October 2026, Attikus ranked #6484 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3886 in 2022.
