Southack said in part, "Atta then hit us on 9/11/2001. And here's a tidbit that hasn't made the news: "Atta" is a birth name that means: twin.

Who and where is his sibling?"

Ok, I've never read that before, so I dropped everything to research it.

"Atta" means self, oneself, innersoul, self's soul, innerbeing, one's state of being, and may be a certain term of endearment or specialness for a father, and may be a type of flour. That's it.

If you have a url pointing to "atta" means "twin" could you please post it?

THANKS.
