https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_stop

says that '.' is a period in both American and British English, but when
used at the end of a sentence, the period is called a "full stop" in both.
(A full stop is a period used to end a sentence.)

It also says that in British English, '.' used elsewhere has also become
known as a "full stop" (I regard that as incorrect, despite myself being
British - it's a dilution of terms, and we'd now be in need of a new term
to describe the '.' at the end of a sentence because of this.)
