The existence of atoms has been proposed since the time of early Indian and Greek philosophers (400 B.C.)

According to Greek philosophers, the continued subdivisions matter would ultimately yield atom which would not be further divisible.

The word 'atom' has been derived from the Greek word 'a-tomio' which means 'uncuttable' or 'non-divisible.
