What name is Avatar: The Last Airbender also known by in some regions?

Avatar: The Last Airbender is also known as Avatar: The Legend of Aang in some regions.

The alternate title emphasizes Aang, the twelve-year-old Air Nomad who is the series’ central character and the current Avatar. As the Avatar, Aang can master all four elements and is responsible for restoring balance between the world’s four nations and its spirit world.

The animated series was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and originally aired on Nickelodeon for three seasons from 2005 to 2008. In English-speaking markets, Avatar: The Last Airbender is the standard title, often shortened to Avatar or ATLA.

The regional title helps distinguish the series from James Cameron’s Avatar, a separate science-fiction film franchise. It also should not be confused with The Legend of Korra, the sequel series centered on Aang’s successor.
