The word '''Ateneo''' is the [[Spanish language|Spanish]] and Italian form of the word '''[[Athenaeum]]'''. Ateneo, like Athenaeum, is used in the names of institutions or periodicals for literary, scientific, or artistic study. It may also be used in the names of [[Educational institution|educational institutions]]. The name Athenaeum is formed from the name of the classical Greek goddess [[Athena]] (the goddess of wisdom) in the same way that [[museum]] is formed from [[muse]] (the goddesses of culture). Ateneo, meanwhile, is translated into Spanish the same way Museo (Museum) and Liceo (Lyceum) are.
==Use in the Philippines==
The name '''Ateneo''' is best known as a part of the names of [[Jesuit]] institutions of learning in the [[Philippines]]. Each of these institutions have a different name containing the word "Ateneo" (but all in the form "Ateneo de [location]").
The word "Ateneo" is the Spanish form of "[[Athenaeum]]". The Dictionary of Classical Antiquities thus explains "Athenaeum":
:''The name of the first educational institution at Rome, built by Hadrian about 135 A.D.... There rhetoricians and poets held their recitations, and salaried professors gave their lectures in the various branches of general liberal education, philosophy and rhetoric, as well as grammar and jurisprudence.''
The name is used the same way name "[[Lyceum]]" is used in the names of educational institutions. It may also be a synonym for "school", "academy" or "institution".
The following is a list of these Jesuit schools, with their year of establishment. (Note that these schools are not officially affiliated in any way other than being administered by the Jesuits.)../..
