“An exonym (from the Greek: ἔξω, éxō, “out” and ὄνομα, ónoma, “name”) is a name for a place that is not used within that place by the local inhabitants (neither in the official language of the state nor in local languages),[1] or a name for a people or language that is not used by the people or language to which it refers. The name used by the people or locals themselves is called endonym, autonym (from the Greek ἔνδον, éndon, “within” or αὐτό, autó, “self” and ὄνομα, ónoma, “name”), or self-appellation.”
