Yes, I’m aware. Gilead, Sheol, Etc… Etc…
But, He’s the most recent person to utilize them. Likely, the most notable, as well.
It’s likely that Atwood was inspired to use the name after reading The Gunslinger. Her and King were both fans of Robert Browning. Browning wrote the poem Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came, which was King’s inspiration for the Dark Tower series. The Gunslinger is a collection of short stories written between 1978 and 1981 that were gathered together and printed in novel form in 1982. Atwood’s book came out in 1985 so she probably read it and being a fan of Browning also decided to use Gilead in her book as well. Her book has nothing else really in common with King’s other than that.
