They are both.
Originally, they are of course Greek letters (the first and the last of the Greek alphabeth), or more exactly of Phoenician origin, but as words they are used in both Latin and Greek, like in English and most other modern languages.
In the book of Revelation´, God says in the Latin version: "Ego sum Alpha et Omega, principium et finis" (“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End"). So, they are also used in Latin! ;)

It's not Latin, it is definitely Greek. Alpha isthe first, and Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet.
