Poecilonym
I have just learned that a poecilonym is the same thing as synonym. Unfortunately I haven't found a cognate in any Romance language, pecilonimo?, pecilónimo?, maybe because the word doesn't come to us directly from Ancient Greek (its first documented use is from 1890, as the source states) and it was probably coined by an English speaker.
