Contrary to popular belief, the band did not name itself after Atreyu, a character from Michael Ende's novel, "The Neverending Story". Rather, the band received its name when the word was mentioned to them by a friend of the band. The members agreed that it would be a good name for a band, and then adapted it as their moniker. Each of the band's releases has been released under the name Atreyu.
