Question
Hello again, I was just wondering if you knew the meaning and/or origin of a few more Russian surnames:

Atepko
Abertasov
Atkov
Atlanov

Thanks very much, I really appreciate the help.

Answer
before I make any inquiries to answer your question, can you explain to me why you need it? i mean, I like helping people, but it's not really fair if I volunteer my time to earn you some income :)

Update:
I don't have much time to do a deep research, what I can say now is:
-o at the end of a surname means it southern Slavonic branch, more likely Ukrainian.
Atlanov - Atlan = Atlantis, might have originated from the north-eastern part of Russia.
