Shakespeare\u2019s implication is that a name is nothing but a word, and it therefore represents a convention with no intrinsic meaning. While this may be relevant to romantic literature, disease names do have real meanings, and consequences, in medicine. Hence, there must be a very good rationale for changing the name of a disease that has a centuries-old historical context. A working group of representatives from national and international endocrinology, and pediatric endocrine societies now proposes changing the name of \u2018diabetes insipidus\u2019 to \u2018arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D)\u2019 for central etiologies, and \u2018arginine vasopressin resistance (AVP-R)\u2019 for nephrogenic etiologies. This article provides both the historical context and the rationale for this proposed name change.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/ec-22-0378","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,13]],"date-time":"2022-10-13T19:06:33Z","timestamp":1665687993000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-10","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Changing the name of diabetes insipidus: a position statement of The Working Group for Renaming Diabetes Insipidus"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"_","family":"_","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Arima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan"},{"name":"Japan Endocrine Society"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timothy","family":"Cheetham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Endocrinology, Newcastle University Faculty of Medical Sciences, Great North Children\u2019s Hospital, Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK"},{"name":"European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6336-0965","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mirjam","family":"Christ-Crain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, University Hospital Basel, University of Basel, Switzerland"},{"name":"European Society of Endocrinology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deborah","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, University Hospital Basel, University of Basel, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5745-6832","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mark","family":"Gurnell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European Society of Endocrinology"},{"name":"Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science, University of Cambridge & Addenbrooke\u2019s Hospital, Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juliana B","family":"Drummond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Medicina da UFMG, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil"},{"name":"Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miles","family":"Levy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrinology, University Hospitals of Leicester, Leicester, UK"},{"name":"Society for Endocrinology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ann I","family":"McCormack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hormones and Cancer Group, Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia"},{"name":"Endocrine Society of Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Verbalis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrinology and Metabolism, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington DC, District of Columbia, USA"},{"name":"Endocrine Society"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Newell-Price","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrine Society"},{"name":"Department of Oncology and Metabolism, The Medical School, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John A H","family":"Wass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Oxford Centre for Diabetes Endocrinology & Metabolism \u2013 Endocrinology, Oxford, UK"},{"name":"Pituitary Society"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Acta Europaea Fertilitatis","first-page":"331","article-title":"The amenorrhoea-galactorrhea syndrome: present diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives","volume":"6","author":"Venturini","year":"1975","unstructured":"Venturini PLCapitanio GLBoccardo EFerraro RRossato PDe Cecco L.
