It is my understanding that ESP is the correct full Initials (name) for what we often just call the efi partition.

 EFI System Partition (ESP)
Ubuntu installers have referred to the ESP by the name "EFI boot partition,"

But use of boot partition has confused new users thinking that is Ubuntu's boot partition or they need another /boot partition or do not need a /boot partition when they may need one.
