Is there a word for named moments or periods of time—one of the -nym suffixed words? I did a search and can't seem to find a word in reasonably wide usage.
This Q&A doesn't address my question (completely). A search on a term that made sense to me in the family of Latin-derived terms like demonym (which is fully documented) and retronym is temponym, which has been coined in technical circles.
At the least, it doesn't seem to have a dictionary definition yet.
