Who first use the word atom?
The Greek word átomos (ἄτομος) was first used by the philosopher Democritus who lived around 450 BCE. The modern use of the word goes back to the beginnings of the science of chemistry in the mid 17th cent. It's first usage (as meaning a very small particle) outside of scientific journals and into the mainstream goes back at least as early as 1796 when the word is found in newspapers of the time. (....and was crufshed to atoms before the eyes of its unhappy mother...)
Who was the first to use the term atom?
In 460 B.C. a Greek philosopher, Democritus, developed the idea of atoms. He asked this question: If you break a piece of matter in half, and then break it in half again, how many breaks will you have to make before you can break it no further? Democritus thought that it ended at some point, a smallest possible bit of matter. He called these basic matter particles, atoms, from Greek for "not breakable": a-tomos. (For the meaning of the two word parts, compare English words like "asymmetrical" and "tome".) In India, a person named Kanaada/Kanada (known as the author of Vaisheshika Darshan) had the same idea, but obviously, he used a different word for the parts: "paramaanu" in Sanskrit, meaning "the ultimate particle". It's not clear when he lived exactly; estimates vary between 6th - 2nd Century BCE
