Wikipedia definition
5. Ātman (Buddhism)​The word Ātman or Atta refers to a self. Occasionally the terms "soul" or "ego" are also used. The words ātman and atta derive from the Indo-European root *ēt-men (breath) and are cognate with Old English æthm, German Atem, and Greek atmo-. Some Mahāyāna Buddhist sutras and tantras present other Buddhist teachings with positive language by asserting the ultimate reality of an atman which is equated with the essential nature of mind (Dalai Lama — see relevant section below).
