==Names== {| | <!-- Does someone know a better way to make the image float right, but not below the infobox? --> The name ''truncated cuboctahedron'', given originally by [[Johannes Kepler]], is misleading: an actual [[Truncation (geometry)|truncation]] of a [[cuboctahedron]] has [[rectangle]]s instead of [[square]]s; however, this nonuniform polyhedron is [[topologically]] equivalent to the Archimedean solid unrigorously named truncated cuboctahedron. Alternate interchangeable names are: *''Truncated cuboctahedron'' ([[Johannes Kepler]]), *''Rhombitruncated cuboctahedron'' ([[Magnus Wenninger]]<ref>{{Citation |last1=Wenninger |first1=Magnus |author1-link=Magnus Wenninger |title=Polyhedron Models |publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] |isbn=978-0-521-09859-5 |mr=0467493 |year=1974}} (Model 15, p. 29)</ref>), *''Great rhombicuboctahedron'' ([[Robert Williams (geometer)|Robert Williams]]<ref>{{The Geometrical Foundation of Natural Structure (book)}} (Section 3-9, p. 82)</ref>), *''Great rhombcuboctahedron'' (Peter Cromwell<ref>Cromwell, P.; [https://books.google.com/books?id=OJowej1QWpoC&pg=PA82 ''Polyhedra''], CUP hbk (1997), pbk. (1999). (p. 82)</ref>), *''[[Omnitruncation|Omnitruncated]] cube'' or ''cantitruncated cube'' ([[Norman Johnson (mathematician)|Norman Johnson]]), * ''Beveled cube'' ([[Conway polyhedron notation]]). |style="padding-left:50px;"| <!-- right table cell --> {{multiple image | align = left | width = 130 | image1 = Polyhedron 6-8 max.png | image2 = Polyhedron nonuniform truncated 6-8 max.png | footer = Cuboctahedron and its truncation }} |} There is a [[nonconvex uniform polyhedron]] with a similar name: the [[nonconvex great rhombicuboctahedron]].
