Well your Greeks, and by extension your Romans, got by with iamb, trochee, dactyl, anapest, and spondee, but your Brahmans named their meters, more than their feet. Gayatri has always been my favorite: 3 couplets of 8 syllables each. (Can be trochaic.) See the Rgveda III:62.10 for a famous example. The goddess Gayatri has 5 heads, 10 eyes (looking in 8 directions), and 10 arms holding weapons.
