The closest I can come to with something bonafide Greek is "Altis" which means jumper/vaulter (as in the athletic event).

Actually the Altis described above is with an "eta" ("Altes").
Altis (with an "iota")was the sacred forest of Zeus in Olympia. Hence, "Altios" of "Altius" could quite plausibly be "an inhabitant of Altis".
