MacAdam calls it a 1-step ellipse. Other concentric ellipses with the same distance to the reference point as the first ellipse are called 2-step, 3-step, 4-step ellipses and so forth. A 1116 ANSI binning can be described by a 3-step MacAdam ellipse and is currently the smallest binning offered by LED manufacturers.
