Attar (name)

Attar (, ar) is both an Arabic given name and a surname that refers to the occupations apothecary, pharmacist, spice dealer, or perfumer.

There is an exaggerated form related to this name, Atir or Ater (), meaning "perfumed, sweet-smelling, aromatic, fragrant", which is used rarely. Both of these names are derived from the Arabic noun for perfume or fragrance, attar (or ittar).
