Can also be called a serpentine belt, although I tend to call it by whatever it drives.

Fan belt is just a hang on from the old days, but I still call them that as everyone knows precisely what you are reffering to then.
Serpentine belts are completely different and multi ribbed, and go in all sorts of directions, all over the place like a SERPENT, hence the name.
