In ancient times, there was no special terminology for non-jewish people. In modern times, they could be called Gentiles or simply non-jews.
In Hebrew, the term goy was used since the Middle Ages. It was a non-offensive term that referred to (other) nations. In Modern English, the term "goy" was borrowed from Hebrew, but in English it has a slightly negative connotation.

In Hebrew, non-Jews are called 'goy' (plural: goyim).
Many people mistakenly believe that the word goy is an insult, however, this is incorrect. The word 'goy' literally means 'nation' and is used to refer also to the Israelite nation in the Tanakh (Jewish Bible).
