What's in a name?

I have found the following generic names used for various configurations of multicopters:

Tricopter
Quadcopter
Quadracopter
Quadrocopter
Quadcopter
Quadrotor
Hexacopter
Octacopter
Octocopter
Octorotor
Multirotor
Multicopter

And then there is the E-Volo. Sixteen moderately sized motors provide enough lift and redundancy to lift a person into the air. This video was just filmed last month.
