Helen Goodman wins a prize for "autonym," which may not technically be a word, but is pretty damn close, in that it's on this website:

The Turkic speaking Western Yugur's autonym is Yoghïr or Sarïgh Yoghïr (sarïgh yellow, Yoghïr Yugur), that of the Mongolic speaking Eastern Yugur is Yoghor or Shera Yoghor (shera yellow, Yoghor Yugur).
It remains to be investigated why and how the Turkic and Mongolic speaking Yugur came to use the same autonym.

In consulting the dictionary to check on the exact definition of "semiautonomous" [apparently it's only an adjective, the noun doesn't seem to exist, oddly enough], I found another cool word.
A pseudonym is a false name, and anonymity means namelessness [implying the existence of the "nameless name," or anonym], but an autonym, well...that's your true name.
To publish under your autonym is simply to use your own name, as opposed to the pen name of the pseudonym or the no-name of the anonym.
