Atheer is a Quranic boy name that means “light reflected from a sword”. It is not directly mentioned in the Quran, but it is derived from the A-TH-R root which is used in a number of places in the Quran, such as 94:10:
They blaze a trail of dust.
The name is popular due to Ibn al-Atheer, one of the greatest Muslim historians.

Its not in mentioned in surah 94 verse 10. It would be great if you could check that and correct it. Many thanks

The meaning of Atheer أثير has nothing to do with “light reflected from a sword” but rather means “honorable, distinguished, special, preferred”.
From Lisan Al-Arab:
ورجل أَثِير: مكين مُكْرَم، والجمع أُثَرَاءُ والأُنثى أَثِيرَة.
وآثَرَه عليه: فضله.
وفي التنزيل: لقد آثرك الله علينا.
وأَثِرَ أَن يفعل كذا أَثَراً وأَثَر وآثَرَ، كله: فَضّل وقَدّم.
وآثَرْتُ فلاناً على نفسي: من الإِيثار. الأَصمعي: آثَرْتُك إِيثاراً أَي فَضَّلْتُك.
وفلان أَثِيرٌ عند فلان وذُو أُثْرَة إِذا كان خاصّاً
