What is the correct term for labeling tables in a query?

问题

I'm trying to figure out the correct name for table labeling.

SELECT var1, var2 FROM myTable TableRef

The label I'm referring to is the variable TableRef, which can be referenced from a WHERE clause like follows:

WHERE TableRef.var1 = 'someValue'

As @Yosi pointed out. The term I was looking for was table alias.
