1. a male given name from Latin
   • 1982 Orvokki Autio, Kotipesä, Gummerus, →ISBN, page 14:

     ―Vai Aatoksen sinä sen poikasi nimeksi pistit, oli Ilmi sanonut ja pannut silmänsä kiinni.

     —Lauri se on, Lasseksi sanotahan, oli Armi sanonut. ―Aatos on toinen nimi.

   • 2019 Anja Portin, Muistokirjoitus, S&S, →ISBN, page 127:

     Nimet ovat liian samanlaiset, liian lähellä toisiaan. Lasse ja Laura. Melkein kuin Lassi ja Leevi tai Liinu ja Tiinu. Olisi helpompaa, jos huulipunanaisen nimi olisi Sinikka tai Paula. Tai joku Hannele. Lasse ja Sinikka ei kuulostaisi yhtä tyhmältä kuin Lasse ja Laura.
