Logonym

Logonym is a polysemic term, and a neologism (coined from Greek: λόγος / word, and Greek: ὄνομα / name). The term has several meanings, spanning across different fields of study. It was primarily defined as a term that designates various types of titles, including titles of literary and other artistic works,^[1] and also came to designate titles of business firms and their products, including their acronyms.^[2] The term also has a specific meaning in biological classification,^[3] and some authors have used the term as an alternative designation for the proper names of languages,^[4] but such use could not replace previously established onomastic terms (linguonyms, glossonyms, glottonyms),^[5] that are commonly used as designations for the onomastic class of language names.^{[6][7][8][9][10]}
