But all that's completely irrelevant to my purpose, which is simply to enquire if these tilings have an established name --- preferably one rather more euphonious than my current nomenclature: The bathroom floor tiling!

Wikipedia has a good article on these tilings; Wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tiling There are 4 names given: Pythagorean tiling Two squares tessellation Hopscotch pattern Pinwheel pattern (not to be confused with pinwheel tiling) The only other thing about these tilings I am aware of that is not mentioned in the article is that these tilings can tile a torus.
