Atomic mass of an atom is called?

What do you mean? Atomic mass of an atom is the weighted average mass of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element, measured in amu (=atomic mass unit). I do not know how do you want to call it, it is just atomic mass, average atomic mass, mass of an atom, atom's mass...

What do you mean by the atomic mass of an atom?

That's the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
