Culture and traditions of the Ateneo de Manila
The name "Ateneo" is derived from the Latin word "Athenaeum", a temple dedicated to Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. The closest English gloss is "academy". The Society of Jesus in the Philippines established several other schools, all named Ateneo, since 1865, and over the years, the name "Ateneo" has become recognized as the official title of Jesuit institutions of higher learning in the Philippines.
