Was Atlantis originally called Atlas?

According to this comment in reply to the article Lost city of Atlantis ‘could be buried in southern Spain on the History.com web site:

    The island of Atlas (reads Atlas in Greek; Atlantis is a British created word) was said to have founded the city of Athina, aka Athens. But it was said that the island became corrupt, so Athens fought against the island to gain its “independence” from it.

It makes sense that, if Athens was originally a colony of Atlantis/Atlas as was Egypt, the Athenians could have fought to gain independence from its homeland if Atlantis/Atlas became corrupt. There are historical events of this kind recorded in many parts of the world. There are also legends about the corruption in Atlantis so, yes, it makes sense.
