What does atocha es mean in spanish?

Atocha comes from ATOSSA (Atussa) Atossa آتوسا / آتش‌سا (from Old Persian *Utauθa, and Avestan Hutaosā) was an Achaemenid queen and daughter of Cyrus the Great and his wife, Cassandane. She lived from 550 BC to 475 BC and probably was a sister (or half-sister) of the Persian king Cambyses II. Atossa married Darius the Great (Darius I) during 522 BC after Darius I, with the help of the nobleman Otanes, defeated the followers of a man claiming to be Bardiya(Smerdis), the younger brother of Cambyses II. Xerxes I was the eldest son of Atossa and Darius. Atossa lived to see Xerxes invade Greece. Being a direct descendent of Cyrus the Great, Atossa had a great authority within Achamenian royal house and court. Atossa's special position enabled Xerxes, who was not the eldest son of Darius, to succeed his father.Aeschylus also included her as a central character in his tragedy The Persians.
