shortname

Truncated name form

A shortname is an abbreviated or condensed version of a longer name, used for convenience in computing, organizations, or everyday reference.

Domain shortnames replace full web addresses; username shortnames substitute for formal account identifiers: The company's shortname is just "Acme".

In technical contexts, shortnames often have character limits or formatting restrictions.
