RE: <http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/athlon/index.html>
From FAQs:

"AMD Athlon™ Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
Why did you choose AMD Athlon™ as the product name for the AMD-K7 processor?
Answer:
In choosing the AMD Athlon™ product name, AMD wanted to emphasize that the new product represents a significant technological departure from sixth generation processors. Formerly code-named the AMD-K7, the AMD Athlon processor is a true next-generation processor in terms of its architectural capabilities and delivered performance."


So why did they choose Atholelon?
