ECMAScript 2017 Language Specification

ES2017 is the conventional name now that there's annual publications of the spec. ES8 is someone reading the edition number on the document and trying to be terse. ECMA-262 is the formal name of the spec document, not the language the spec defines. All slightly different things, only one of which names the language itself, officially.

ECMAScript 2017, that's the name given by the speciation document, which is itself known officially as ECMA-262 edition 8.
