zonenames is not distinct enough. Olson zone names is better, but usually we try to use identifier instead of name, because name can mean the human-visible name, after translation. So it sounds like Olson zone identifier or maybe Olson time zone identifier?

We have traditionally referred to the timezone IDs in ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ as "Olson IDs". What is the best way to refer to them?
The zdump(8) man page says "zonenames". Perhaps "Olson zone names"?
