In medical terminology, the thumb is called a "pollex" from the Latin pollere, which means to be strong. It can also be called the digitus (manus) primus [I] or "first finger".

its called the "pollex" or "1st finger"

Its latin name and the name used in anatomy (when we can be bothered to be accurate) is pollucis (pol-oosh-is)
