The English word "atom" comes from the Latin word "atomus" which comes from the Greek "atomos" which means "not divided (a + tomos)."
This word was used by the Romans (taken from Greek theory/ philosophy) for the basic, indivisible building-block of matter, but, especially in Lucretius, other words were more common, such as "corpora, corpora parva, corpora minuta, corpuscula, individuum (a calque I would guess), particula, etc..."
