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?

Evocative nonsense like dreamcast or megadrive.

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
