Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 5 — Abu Bakr had a lean face, and he was called

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَفْصٍ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَلِيٍّ يَقُولُ: كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مَعْرُوقَ الْوَجْهِ، وَإِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ عَتِيقًا لِعَتَاقَةِ وَجْهِهِ، وَكَانَ اسْمُهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ، وِقَدْ رُوِيَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمَّاهُ عَتِيقًا مِنَ النَّارِ»
Abu Hafs Amr bin Ali said: Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had a lean face, and he was called Atiq precisely because of the fineness of his face, and his name was Abdullah bin Uthman. It is also narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the name "Atiq" in the sense of being freed from the Fire.
