That would somewhat imply the current Maiden of Atlas is in fact Weiss' sister.

Having said that, I don't think that's the case. I think the people named after seasons might just be a leftover of the fairytale, like naming your child after your favourite book character. After all, this is supposed to be a secret, so it might be a tad conspicuous if, when a girl becomes a maiden, she suddenly changes to a Season themed name.

Having said that, Cinder's last name might've been changed intentionally if this was always her plan.
