autonym

listen to the pronunciation of autonym
English - English
A name used by a group or category of people to refer to themselves or their language, as opposed to a name given to them by other groups. For example, Deutschen is the autonym of a people known in English as German
An infraspecific name in which the species epithet is repeated
The true name of a person or other entity, especially an author

My reason for opposing is that I think, as a general principle, the heading of the main entry of the book should be in the form in which the book itself is published; that is, if it is published under an autonym let the autonym be given, if under a pseudonym, then let the pseudonym be given, and if the book be anonymous, then let the fact be stated.

{i} person's real given name; piece of literature published under the author's real name; (Grammar) word that describes itself (e.g.: polysyllabic is polysyllabic; noun is a noun; word is a word)
