"Indian," in the sense "from or pertaining to India," is Indus in Latin. This term was also applied by the Romans to other non-European peoples, including Ethiopians and Arabs, so it's not out of the question that they might have used it to refer to "American Indians" as well. Other possible terms for a Native American are americanus aborigineus and americanus indigena. ("Indigena" is unusual among Latin adjectives in that the masculine form ends in -a.)
