Yeah. Wikipedia calls it "link aggregation" and the standard is IEEE 802.1AX which also calls it that and the protocol LACP. I think the real reason for so many names is that the standard wasn't developed until later so everyone built their own competing incompatible implementations with different names and it was a mess for years.

Linux implemented it with the Linux bonding driver and switch manufactures made up their own proprietary extensions for it but the standard didn't become a thing until like 2000. Seems like "teaming" is one of the most popular names for it.
