Ce faible rayonnement est aussi connu sous le nom de «rayonnement fossile» ou «rayonnement à 3 K»(en référence à sa température). Aucun de ces noms ne correspond exactement à sa traduction anglaise de Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation ou désormais Cosmic Microwave Background(littéralement «(rayonnement) micro-onde de fond cosmique »). En français, l'abréviation la plus couramment utilisée pour le nommer est CMB, issu de l'anglais. On trouve également les abréviations anglaises CMBR et françaises FDC(plus rarement). 3, record 1, French, - fond%20diffus%20cosmologique%20micro%2Donde
