Definition
A point lattice is a discrete subgroup of $\R^m$ under vector addition.
Also known as
A point lattice is also known just as a lattice, but that term has more than one meaning.
Hence point lattice is what is to be used on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ for this concept.

Historical Note
The concept of a point lattice was originated by Carl Friedrich Gauss in $1831$.
