I’m not sure the LDS church would be too keen on funding an app named after a Hindu concept.

Atmana is a combination of 2 sanskrit words. there's nothing hindu about the name at all.

What two words are they?

"Atmana" invokes imagery of "Atman"and "Mana" particularly for native english speakers; both words are highly connected to spiritual and/or philosophical concepts that most devout members of Abrahamic faiths are not going to be comfortable with.
