Does ATOMIS actually mean something in the name Atomiswave, or is it a mistranslation/nonsense?

[Beefalo]

It took me a while to notice that it's Atomiswave, not Atomicwave. Is that just another example of the Engrish common at the time?

[kremiso]

for me it was exactly in the opposite half, in first I've always thought it was AtomisWARE

[dark]

Evocative nonsense like dreamcast or megadrive.

[NightBreeze]

Atomis is Latin for atoms, perhaps it originates from there. A wave of atoms.

Atomis is Latin for atoms, perhaps it originates from there. A wave of atoms.

and latin its a copy of ancient greek,here in greece we call atoms "atomo".....so in general its a greek name ...at least the first name ,and yes the meaning is a wave of atoms which is so cool cause its a dreamcast with different name
