we may not want to assume the term accessible name is meaningful to readers.

Currently "accessible name" and "accessible label" (or just "label") are used in aria-practices (11 "accessible name", 8 "accessible label", 9 "the label "). It could be good to be more consistent and maybe have the term link to https://w3c.github.io/aria/#dfn-accessible-name
