I had a similar experience looking up the code for โŠฅ, I didn't realize the world has given a very specific meaning to the words "latex bottom"

It's "up tack": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_tack

I always pronounced it bottom because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_element_and_least_element#Top_and_bottom or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_type which is how the Haskell report (where I got comfortable with the symbol) uses it.
