What is the name of a sideways parabola?

A sideways parabola is commonly referred to as a "horizontal parabola." Unlike the standard vertical parabola, which opens upwards or downwards, a horizontal parabola opens to the left or right. Its general equation takes the form (y^2 = 4px) for a right-opening parabola or (y^2 = -4px) for a left-opening parabola, where (p) determines the distance from the vertex to the focus.
