Roots of Ati's name

I'm sure this has been pointed out somewhere but I am bad at searching for specific things like this but was Ati's name based on Ate- the Greek god of mischief and ruin? Probably and I am stupid for asking this question when it seems pretty obvious that it is true.

Hmm, I don't recall having seen that connection made before, and I'm not familiar with that deity. Conceptually speaking, it's an interesting idea, although Ruin seems more an embodiment of natural entropy while Ate seems to be aligned with 'wrongdoings' that have negative consequences. The pronunciations don't quite match up, either: "Ατη" will rhyme with 'day.' It's still two letters of a three-letter word matching up, so not insignificant.

I'm reminded of a particularly egregious coincidence from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. They discover the ultimate answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, the renowned '42.' But then they need to discover the ultimate question that is being answered. When they finally do, they learn that it is 'What is six times nine?' Some fans realized that, in a Base-13 number system, six times nine actually does equal forty-two. Confronted with this, Adams rejected it, saying that any way the question made sense was pure coincidence.

I think this may be a similar situation, that a Vessel's three-letter name just happens to look like something connected conceptually with ruin in some form or another.
