I can’t remember where I saw this but I think it was on the show information for some show on TV. I think this is a strong masculine name that reminds me of Alareiks which is the Gothic form of Alaric, both names I have used before in novels. Now Athanaric has a nice long history of use and is a very handsome powerful ruler name.

Now the pronunciation is my best guess on it as I could not find a phonetic pronunciation for this name. If any one knows if I am pronouncing it wrong please do tell me.
