Name of device
In English we call Germany Germany but Germans refer to their country as Deutschland. Many languages call England Anglia. What is the name of this device where a name is applied to a place or a people different from what they call themselves. Do we have an article on this?

 * OffTopic. Lovely:  The term endonym was devised (...) as an antonym for the term exonym. --CiaPan (talk) 18:27, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
