Atli

/ˈæt.li/ noun

Definition

An alternative or obsolete name for a type of fish, possibly from Nordic or northern European languages.

Etymology

Possibly from Old Norse or Scandinavian languages, with uncertain etymology; may be related to 'atka' fish.

Kelly Says

Northern European fishing communities often had their own regional names for fish that never made it into standard dictionaries—'atli' might be a local name that survived in only a few old texts.
