The term "Audonian Christianity" began to be used in the [[Occident]] in the 9th century, and the term was not originally used by its adherents. The term [[Audonia#Name|"Audonian" as a geographical signifier]] originates around the same time and derives from the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. Believers would have simply referred to themselves as Christians or Eastern Christians prior to the widespread popularization of the term even among its adherents. | The term "Audonian Christianity" began to be used in the [[Occident]] in the 9th century, and the term was not originally used by its adherents.

Adherents of this form of Christianity were occasionally referred to as ''Marandite'' in the [[Occident]], reflecting the historic Patriarch of the Audonian Christian form of faith. Accordingly, many modern Audonian Christian believers have taken to using the term to refer to their branch of Christianity. | |||
