#self-naming

• To self-name — To autonomously assign or establish one's own name, designation, or official title, without the intervention or enforcement of an external factor. In anthropology and sociology, it refers to the action of a human community or ethnic group choosing its own ethnonym (endonym), whereas in computer science it describes the ability of a script, process, or file to dynamically modify its structural name during execution.
• Self-naming — The act of self-naming and its result; a name, title, or designation that a community, ethnic group, organization, or computer system assigns to itself in a sovereign and autonomous manner. In ethnography, it represents the endonym borne by a people in their own language, as opposed to the exonym used by outsiders.
