The extraterrestrial beings in the 2016 sci-fi film Arrival were given what geometry-inspired name?

In the 2016 sci-fi film Arrival, contact is made with two cephalopod-like, seven-limbed aliens called "heptapods." (Makes sense since "hepta" is the prefix for "seven".) The main characters in the film nickname the extraterrestrial beings Abbott and Costello.
