Literally no connection beyond sounding vaguely similar. The word 'atom' comes from the Greek ἄτομος, 'átomos', meaning indivisible.

incorrect, not only the sound is similar but also the meaning. Atomos means the invisible that can't be divided, and that is what Atum means, the invisible god that can't be divided ( Unity)

That is not what his name meant, nor is it implied by any evidence we have regarding his worship or iconography. That is just some bullshit that somebody pulled out of their ass to fabricate a correlation that does not exist.

In Egyptian mythology, Atum was considered the first god, often associated with the creation of the world and the beginning of all existence. The name itself reflects this symbolism, as it translates to Totality or Complete.

the meaning of Atum comes from the Heliopolis creation myth, if you are saying that the heliopolis creation myth is made by someone who is bs then you have major issues. go check all sources about the name atum, I don't have to teach you on a comment box

Atum is the source entity of all creation= Atom is the original particle of creation. Atum is invisible= Atom is invisible. Atum can't be divided= Atom can't be divided. Add to that most of the teachings come from Alexandria, the egyptians knew about the modern atom way before modern man, but I know it is hard for you to admit

Even the phoenicians knew it before us, but that is a whole new story to discuss
